Hello, friends.
In a better world, Orioles pitchers and catchers would be reporting to Sarasota five days from now. In this world, the ownership lockout of MLB players continues, with the league not having made any kind of CBA proposal to the players in more than a week. Commissioner Rob Manfred is expected to address baseball media today, one result of which could be an official acknowledgement that spring training won’t start on time. The league and players will have their next meeting on Saturday.
The world we have is not that better world, so as the lockout rolls on we must make the best of it.
