It is not guarantee that a lockout would definitely happen, but it could be in the works as the collective bargaining agreement that was signed in 2011 is set to expire after the 2020 season.
All that gets discussed here is a lockout.
A lockout is the opposite of a strike.
And nothing here mentions a strike.
