It's getting ugly in the "negotiations" taking place between Major League Baseball and its players' union.
Baseball negotiations resumed with new intensity Monday in an effort to salvage opening day, and owners made a pair of slight moves toward locked-out players but put off big-ticket bargaining issues until later.
Major League Baseball on Friday canceled the first week of spring training games through March 4 in the first public acknowledgement of the disruption caused by the lockout.
With the lockout casting a dark cloud over the sport of baseball and MLB at the moment, a moment like that may be just the spiritual boost needed for baseball fans at this precise moment in time.
On what was supposed to be the second day of spring training, negotiations aimed at ending Major League Baseball's lockout resumed Thursday at the office of the players' association. The meeting lasted about 15 minutes.
The latest update doesn't sound very encouraging.
Major League Baseball and its locked-out players agreed to resume negotiations Saturday after an 11-day break.
The start of the Major League Baseball season remains in jeopardy as lockout negotiations remain stalled.
Locked out players rejected Major League Baseball's request for a federal mediator to enter stalled labor negotiations, a move that pretty much eliminated any chance for an on-time start to spring training and increased the work stoppage's threat to opening day.
The Red Sox are reportedly the favorites to sign Japanese superstar Seiya Suzuki when MLB gets back up and running.
David Ortiz got a very important phone call on Tuesday night, letting him know that he is now a Baseball Hall of Famer.
Roger Clemens was not elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his tenth and final season on the balllot.
David Ortiz is a Hall of Famer.
It wouldn't be Hall of Fame season if a member of the baseball media wasn't twisting himself into a pretzel for all the world to see.
Tuesday is the day that David Ortiz will find out if he'll be enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
Boston's Big Papi appears headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame -- no last-minute walk-off needed.
David Ortiz is hoping to get his call to the Hall of Fame and join other Red Sox greats in Cooperstown. And he has a message for anyone who believes he took PEDs during his career.
The Red Sox legend let his feelings be known on the writer's decision to leave him off the ballot.
Just about anyone who shared a clubhouse with David Ortiz would argue that Big Papi was and is a legend of the game, one who deserves immediate enshrinement in Cooperstown. Jon Lester is certainly among that group.
While Jon Lester's career took him to four other teams, Boston will always hold a special place in his life.
After a 16-year career in Major League Baseball that saw him bring World Series titles to both the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, Jon Lester has announced his retirement.
Dan Shaughnessy only used one of his 10 available votes. He didn't use it on David Ortiz, who's in his first year of eligibility. He didn't use it on Roger Clemens of Barry Bonds, who are in their final year of eligibility.
Jim Corsi, a Newton native who made it all the way to the Major Leagues, won a World Series and pitched for the Boston Red Sox, has died from cancer. He was 60 years old.
In the quest for David Ortiz to become a first ballot Hall of Famer, there is some positive news. But there's also some potentially bad news.
