The dreaded announcement that Spring Training will be delayed finally went underway on Friday. Both the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues were originally scheduled to begin play next week; however, the new start date for Spring Training will be no earlier than March 5.
The Players Association put out a statement of its own in response to the announcement:
MLB will meet with the Players Association everyday next week, beginning Monday, to make another attempt at a negotiation.
