Rob Manfred Says No Change To Spring Training
3 years agoMajor League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said on Thursday that "the status of spring training is no change right now." Manfred also called the possibility of missing regular season games amid the league's lockout of players "a disastrous outcome." "I believe we will have an agreement in time to play our regular schedule," Manfred said. MLB plans to make a proposal to the Players Association on Saturday when the two sides meet in New York for the fifth time since the lockout began on Dec. 2, but the large gap between the league and players almost ensures that pitchers and catchers won't report to spring training camps next week. If the two sides can't agree on a new collective bargaining agreement by early next month, it could threaten the scheduled March 31 Opening Day.
