How long do MLB lockouts last?

According to reports, the exact number of days in which the Major League Baseball lockouts will take place is not known. A number of offseason processes will be affected by the MLB lockouts.

The Commissioner of MLB, Rob Manfred, stated: “Simply put, we believe that an offseason lockout is the best mechanism to protect the 2022 season. We hope that the lockout will jumpstart the negotiations and get us to an agreement that will allow the season to start on time.
