NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball and its umpires have reached a tentative agreement on a five-year collective bargaining agreement.
The deal, announced Monday by the Major League Umpires Association, replaced the contract that expired Dec. 1. It is subject to ratification by both sides, which will take place next month.
MLB has been awaiting an agreement before announcing details of its planned spring training test of the automatic ball-strike system, commonly referred to as robot umpires.
