For the first time in the last three months, baseball fans have finally got the news they wanted to hear the most. Yes, the lockout is finally over in Major League Baseball. MLB owners and the Players’ Union on Thursday agreed upon the new CBA for the next five years in the league.

Now, with the lockout ended, free agency has also been activated. Not only free agency, but spring training and other MLB activities are live and underway. And understandably, apart from players and owners, even MLB fans are now over the moon, awaiting the games to begin.

That being said, baseball fans will have to wait just a bit more to watch the games in ballparks. With the new CBA agreed between the owners and players, MLB also announced the next season will kick start on April 7th.
