For the first time since the start of the Major League Baseball lockout on Dec. 1, the league and MLB Players Association reportedly met Thursday.

According to ESPN's Jesse Rogers, the two sides discussed "non-core economic issues" including "scheduling, grievance procedures, special events, and/or the drug and domestic violence policies."

Rogers added that negotiations related to the major sticking points between the sides will not occur until after the start of the new year.

Among the main issues that need to be worked out between the MLB and MLBPA are revenue sharing, arbitration and how many years of service players must accrue before becoming free agents.
