The logical conclusion that follows from the given true statements is:

"If negotiations fail, the World Series will not be played."

This conclusion can be inferred by combining the two given true statements:

- "If negotiations fail, the World Series will not be played."

- "If the baseball strike does not end, the World Series will not be played."

Since the second statement is a necessary condition for the World Series to be played, and it is dependent on the outcome of the negotiations, the conclusion logically follows that if negotiations fail, the World Series will not be played.
