Social Media Reacts to MLB Returning After Three-Month Lockout

The MLB and MLB Players Association have agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, which means baseball is returning after a three-month-long lockout. The CBA still has to be ratified by both sides before it becomes official, according to MLB.com. But once that happens, teams can report to Spring Training on Sunday. Opening Day will take place on April 7, and all teams are expected to play 162 games this season despite two weeks of games being canceled. 

"After making a set of comprehensive proposals to the league earlier this afternoon, and being told substantive responses were forthcoming, Players have yet to hear back," the MLBPA said in a statement before an agreement was reached. "Players want to play, and we cannot wait to get back on the field for the best fans in the world. Our top priority remains the finalization of a fair contract for all Players, and we will continue negotiations toward that end." This baseball season will feature some new rules, including the National League adding a designated hitter. Also, there will be 12 teams in the playoff this season. Here's a look at social media reacting to MLB returning to action.
