The world of baseball continues its extended lockout, as both the MLB owners and the MLBPA look to create a new CBA before February 28th. Starting on Monday, owners and players will plan to meet daily in order to make effective progress toward ending the lockout. A CBA must be finalized by the end of the month if the MLB wants to keep from postponing opening day.
