Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association plan to pick up talks on a new collective bargaining agreement Wednesday morning after deep-into-the-night discussions produced significant progress.

The progress was enough for the league to put off canceling another batch of regular-season games.

Nearly 17 hours of bargaining starting Tuesday morning and ended past 3 a.m. EST.

The union requested to reconvene with player leaders Wednesday before responding to the league's proposal, according to an MLB official.
