Lockout ends as MLB, players reach deal

Baseball writers north and south of the border are reporting that Major League Baseball and the players union have reached a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement.

Jeff Passan of ESPN tweeted the news Thursday afternoon.

Passan reports the deal will salvage a full 162-game schedule this season. Games were previously cancelled through April 13, but the plan is to make those games up on off-days and with doubleheaders.
