Good morning, Birdland!
Major League Baseball and the Players Association have increased the frequency with which they are meeting. That’s nice, and would seem to indicate that we will have a season in 2022. But the rate at which the two sides are getting closer makes it seem like it will not be a full 162-game campaign.
January is almost over. Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to spring training in about two-and-a-half weeks. If they don’t report on time, that’s probably going to shift Opening Day in some way. If the delay goes even a bit longer, games will be lost.
