Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) today jointly issued details of the tentative new five-year labor agreement that will allow play to continue uninterrupted through the 2021 season. The parties agreed to the terms of the pact, which is subject to ratification by both sides, on Wednesday, November 30th, prior to the December 1st expiration of the collective bargaining agreement.

The five-year agreement will match the previous two labor contracts as the longest in baseball history. By the end of the new contract, Baseball will have gone 26 years without a strike or a lockout, which continues the sport’s longest period of labor peace since the inception of the collective bargaining relationship. Baseball’s active streak without a work stoppage also marks the longest of its kind among the major North American professional sports.
