MLB, umpires agree on new 5-year collective bargaining agreement

Negotiations with Alex Bregman stalled, Houston Astros say

On Monday, in a news conference introducing first baseman Christian Walker to the club, Houston general manager Dana Brown said the Astros had hoped to re-sign Alex Bregman, the team's third baseman for the last nine seasons, but the negotiations stalled.
