The sides appear far apart with the season just around the corner.
Labor Secretary Marty Walsh has spoken to both Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association about contract negotiations as a lockout continues. Walsh told CBS News he stands ready to facilitate discussions.
"I have spoken to both the MLBPA and MLB about the ongoing contract negotiations and encourage both sides to continue engagement," Walsh said in a statement to CBS News."Like any contract negotiations in any industry, I stand ready to help facilitate productive conversations that result in the best outcome for workers and employers."
Players have been locked out by MLB owners since early December, after a 2016 collective bargaining agreement ended. Players and the league are struggling to negotiate, and the sides appear far apart. The union last week rejected the owners' request to use a nonbinding federal mediator. The players' main point in turning down the federal mediator was the group is there to help two sides negotiate, but they said there isn't really an impasse yet because the owners haven't negotiated at all, according toMarty Walsh, U.S. secretary of labor, speaks during a news conference in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S.
