| 2022 | The MLB and the players' union's failure to reach a new collective bargaining agreement after nearly a year of negotiating prompts Commissioner Rob Manfred to cancel the first two series of the 2022 regular season, citing the logistical challenges of rescheduling the contests because of the increase of interleague play. The decision marks the first time that games will be canceled or postponed due to a work stoppage since the 1994-95 players' strike, which accounted for the loss of over 900 games, including the 1994 World Series. |
