Seems like things are getting better in Major League Baseball. And if everything goes the right way in the next couple of days, then we might finally be able to see players play in the ballparks. Recently, when MLB Players’ Association held a meeting in Tampa, the New York Yankees star Aaron Judge described it as ‘great meeting, great unity.’

Notably, the lockout in MLB is now over two months old. And since then, players and the owners are negotiating for the next Collective Bargaining Agreement. Earlier in the first week of February, the Players’ Association declined the owners’ request to include a federal mediator in the negotiations. As they didn’t want to bring any third party to the table.
