Anthony Rizzo, a veteran All-Star first baseman who is currently a free agent, expressed disappointment for the fans after MLB owners and the players union failed to come to an agreement to end the lockout.

The failed dealings caused MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred to cancel the first few series of the 2022 season, including the games set for Opening Day on March 31.

Rizzo, who played for the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees in 2021, tweeted his reaction and what he will miss the most with the start of the season being postponed.

"To the fans we will miss you most. To the younger generation of baseball players, this is for you," he wrote.

A total of 91 games were canceled due to the failure to reach an agreement, potentially cutting the 162-game regular season to 156 at most.

Manfred released a letter to the fans later Tuesday.

"I had hoped against hope that I would not have to be in the position of canceling games. We worked hard to avoid an outcome that is bad for our fans, bad for our players and bad for our clubs," the letter read.

"I want to assure our fans that our failure to reach an agreement was not due to a lack of effort on the part of either party. The Players came here for nine days, worked hard and tried to make a deal. I appreciate their effort."
