We’ve been hearing rumblings that owners around Major League Baseball have wanted to push the start of spring training, and the regular season back, that is something that the players must agree to do. The players reportedly asked the season to be extended a month if the season were pushed a month, giving them a full 162 game season at full pay. The owners said no to that back in December according to a report by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
But it’s not just Major League Baseball and the players that have an opinion on spring training beginning on time.
