On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day was played on April 7.[1] Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.[2]
The Reds finished the season 62–100, tied for fourth in the National League Central. It was their first 100-loss season since 1982 and their 2nd in franchise history. The 2022 season was only the 3rd time since 1890 that the Reds opened the season on the road (following the 1966 and 1990 seasons).
