On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, the MLB and MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.[2] Opening Day was at the time scheduled for April 7,[3] however it was postponed due to inclement weather.[4]
Starting with the 2022 season, the Yankees local television broadcast will be split between the YES Network and Amazon Prime Video, leaving the Yankees without a local over-the-air broadcaster, save for national games. This is the first time the Yankees are without a local OTA broadcaster since 1946 as they would partner with WABD-TV (now WNYW Fox 5) the following season.[1]
Offseason
Lockout
The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place.[5] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.[6][7]
The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.[8]
Rule changes
Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve (regular season tie-breakers will be abolished, to compensate), and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.[9][10]
