The Angels home opener is not until April 7 against the Houston Astros. Meanwhile, the Angels were scheduled to open the 2022 MLB season in the Bay Area against the Oakland Athletics before heading to Seattle for a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners. That means longtime Dodgers like Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen will be adversely affected. Now both of those series have been canceled and the team cannot sign any free agents, including their own, until the lockout ends. It would have been the first Opening Day with a capacity crowd at Chavez Ravine since March of 2019.Īfter the opening four-game series with the Rockies the Dodgers were scheduled to host a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Opening Day for the Los Angeles Dodgers was scheduled for March 31 at Dodger Stadium against the Colorado Rockies. What does this mean for the Dodgers and Angels?

The league offered a "best and final offer" on Tuesday afternoon that was still far apart from the players' original demands. Manfred placed a self-imposed deadline of Februfor a new agreement to be struck or else they would cancel regular season games.īoth sides met feverishly over 16 hours on Monday night, prompting the league to extend that arbitrary deadline to Tuesday at 5:00PM. Shortly after that, the 30 MLB owners unanimously voted to lockout the players, barring them from their home stadiums and spring training facilities as well as freezing all MLB transactions such as trades and free agent signings.Īt the time, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said "the lockout will jumpstart the negotiations and get us to an agreement that will allow the season to start on time." Instead, neither side met for 43 days and did not begin to meet regularly to negotiate until last week in Florida. The CBA typically lasts anywhere from 5-10 years.
