Good morning, Mets fans.
Lockout negotiations between MLB and players will continue this afternoon at 1 p.m. ET in Jupiter, Florida. Today is a crucial day as “deadline day” continues to quickly approach. Only two days left until regular season games begin to face the risk of cancellation. Currently, there is not much hope that the two sides will be able to come to an agreement before that Monday deadline as the 2022 season continues to drift farther away from reach.
