Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report in a week.
Things continue to move slowly on the lockout end after MLBPA rejected the league’s request for federal mediation last week. Rob Manfred, MLB commissioner, and Dan Halem, Deputy Commissioner, are currently in Orlando to meet with MLB owners. Tony Clark and Bruce Meyer are in Arizona to meet with players. They will move to Florida later in the week to continue speaking with players.
Manfred is scheduled to speak with the media on Thursday. An announcement regarding a delayed start to Spring Training is expected.
