LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers prospect Spencer Torkelson is ready for Major League Baseball's lockout to end.
There's optimism for labor peace between MLB and the MLB Players Association, as both sides continue negotiations Wednesday in New York in hopes of a new collective bargaining agreement.
If MLB and the MLBPA strike a deal, Torkelson will immediately jump into big-league spring training and compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster. If the owners and players union don't come to an agreement, another week of regular season games will be canceled.
"We're all wanting to play baseball," Torkelson said.
