SARASOTA, Fla. -- Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Tony Clark conducted a players-only meeting with the Orioles on Saturday morning during the third stop of his Spring Training tour of camps.
Immediately after the hour-long session, Clark spoke to reporters about a variety of issues, including the Cubs' recent signing of Dexter Fowler after it was widely reported that the veteran outfielder had tentatively agreed with the Orioles. MLB.com's coverage of the negotiations said a formal agreement appeared close but made it clear the O's had not confirmed a deal was complete with Fowler.
