One of the biggest names in the Major League Baseball free-agent market is close to finalizing a multi-year contract with the New York Mets according to multiple sources.

It seems increasingly likely that Major League Baseball is headed toward its first work stoppage since 1994-1995. The worst-case scenario, of course, is too ugly to contemplate: A work stoppage that affects -- or even eliminates -- the regular season. In the latter scenario, teams would also be a lot more cautious. In fact, he thinks some teams could try to reel in some big names before the Dec. 1 CBA expiration. Maybe that’s good news: Teams don’t foresee a work stoppage that could jeopardize the 2022 season.
