Baseball sources said on Monday that Major League Baseball and the World Umpires Association will agree on an new agreement. The deal, which expires on Dec. 31, has been in negotiation all year and could be announced sometime in the next few days. A baseball official said that a deal is not done yet. MLB is seeking more flexibility in assigning umpires during the postseason.
That issue was negotiated with umpires outside of regular collective bargaining in 2008 and the program was put in place in August of that year. Commissioner Bud Selig said that he would consider expanding replay after missed calls plagued the postseason.
