Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says spring training remains on hold because of a management lockout and his goal is to reach a labor contract that allows opening day as scheduled on March 31.
the second-longest work stoppage in baseball history
stretching into its 71st day, Manfred said teams will make a new offer when negotiations resume Saturday for just the fifth economic bargaining session since the five-year labor contract expired. "I am an optimist and I believe we will have an agreement in time to play our regular schedule," Manfred said Thursday after a three-day owners’ meeting. "I see missing games as a disastrous outcome for this industry and we're committed to making an agreement in an effort to avoid that.""The status of spring training is no change right now," Manfred said. "We're going to have a conversation with the MLBPA about the calendar.
"They have to ratify and we have to ratify and we won't open until it’s ratified. But both of those activities can take place at the same time, concurrently. It’s a few days. It should all be able to be done in a few days."Manfred also said the teams do not intend to play major league exhibition games with minor leaguers.
