New MLB labor deal: All-Star Game no longer determines home field in World Series

Baseball players and owners reached a tentative agreement on a five-year labor contract Wednesday night, a deal that will extend the sport's industrial peace to 26 years since the ruinous fights in the first two decades of free agency. In announcing the agreement, Major League Baseball and the players' association said they will make specific terms available when drafting is complete. "Happy it's done, and baseball is back on," Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy said.
