We are well into the lockout imposed by Major League Baseball on December 1st, 2021. This has effectively put a freeze on all things MLB-related and Thursday’s news of a request by the league for federal mediation in the bargaining process - followed by the union’s refusal on Friday - feels like the nail in the coffin for spring training starting on time. How long the lockout lasts and what the changes happen to the landscape of baseball remains to be seen. Your guess is as good as mine, but for now the overwhelming feeling is the preseason and even the start of the regular season is in serious jeopardy.
