With MLB and the MLBPA failing to reach an agreement today, Major League Baseball canceled more regular season games:
Despite two long days of negotiations getting Major League Baseball and the players’ union closer to striking an agreement and assuring a complete 162-game schedule, the commissioner determined a deal was not going to happen in time Wednesday night. Commissioner Rob Manfred officially cancelled the third and fourth series of the season.

This will make the negotiations tougher, as players will now hold out for as many games as possible. I suspect that if a deal is reached in the next couple of days, we’d magically return to 162 games per team.
