Major League Baseball appears headed for a lockout as labor negotiations between owners and the players' association remain deadlocked, according to a Wednesday column by Tom Mullie on SB Nation. The piece, titled "Wednesday Bantering: We're Definitely Getting a Lockout," signals growing pessimism about reaching a new collective bargaining agreement before the current deal expires. The potential work stoppage would be the first in MLB since the 1994-95 strike that canceled the World Series. While no formal deadline has been announced, the column reflects widespread industry expectation that a lockout will be implemented once the existing agreement lapses.
