MLB Lockout: Phillies' Bryce Harper Jokes About Playing In Japan As Negotiations Continue

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Phillies superstar Bryce Harper is showing that he's growing frustrated with the MLB lockout. The reigning National League MVP posted a picture on Instagram joking about playing in Japan if the lockout doesn't end soon.

Overnight, the MLB and the players union reportedly made significant progress towards ending the lockout and saving Opening Day.

Locked-out players and team owners met until around 2:30 a.m. in Florida trying to find a common ground on several key issues.

MLB officials have now extended the deadline to 5 p.m. Tuesday to reach a deal and salvage opening day.

They'll resume talks today at 11 a.m. Opening day is set for March 31.
