Good morning, folks.
It is Friday, March 11, 2021.
The lockout is over. There will be no more lockout updates.
I am happy about that.
The Texas Rangers first game of the season will be on Friday, April 8, 2022 in Toronto against the Blue Jays. That is exactly four weeks from now.
The game being in Toronto is noteworthy because, currently, professional athletes who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 are not allowed into Canada. Per reports, players who are not vaccinated and cannot travel to Canada for their team’s series in Toronto will be placed on the restricted list.
