Here we go again.
As the labor tensions heat up between Major League Baseball and its players, a number of talents remain unsigned just days before pitchers and catchers are set to report to their respective camps.
This has not been uncommon in recent seasons. In 2019, pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel—who had helped the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox to World Series titles in 2017 and 2018—remained on the market through spring training and the start of the regular season.
In 2018, there were so many unsigned free agents as spring training began that they formed their own training site in South Florida.
