Good morning, Birdland!
The holiday period between Christmas and New Year’s Day is a glorious time where days of the week are nebulous, responsibilities disappear, and it seems like there is a football game of some kind on television every single minute of the day. But that time is over now, and we must re-engage with the world and return to our pre-holiday lives. Humbug!
The same can be said of Major League Baseball and the Players Association. They took a lengthy break to finish 2021 as the lockout hit it’s one-month anniversary over the weekend. If we are going to avoid any sort of delay to spring training, some significant progress will need to be made this month.
