Major League Baseball announces postponement of Spring Training games through March 5

Both sides will meet again on Monday.

Major League Baseball announced Friday that Spring Training games have been postponed through at least March 5. The Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues were scheduled to begin play next week but that was never going to happen given that pitchers and catchers still haven’t reported. The league previously set a February 28 deadline to have an agreement in place in order to be ready for Opening Day.

The league’s statement says that all 30 clubs have adopted a policy that provides an option for full refunds for anyone who has purchased tickets to any of the Spring Training games that are not taking place.
