Spring Training postponed in Valley as MLB lockout continues

On Friday, Major League Baseball announced that Spring Training has officially been delayed and will not start earlier than March 5, after the league and its player's association couldn't reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement, according to multiple reports.

In a statement, the league said it would meet with MLBPA on Monday for an in-person meeting and"remain every day next week to negotiate and work hard towards starting the season on time."— Jordan Bontke February 18, 2022 Bridget Binsbacher, executive director of the Cactus League, said they are disappointed the season won't begin as scheduled but facilities will be ready to open as soon as they can.

"Spring Training is a major tourism driver in Arizona, and our stakeholders are counting on a strong 2022 spring training season after enduring two COVID-disrupted seasons," Binsbacher said in a statement released Friday."We are also disappointed for the many out-of-state fans whose travel plans have been impacted."NEW: @cactusleagueaz issues a statement following the news of a delayed start to the Spring Training season.

So the taxpayers are on the hook for empty stadiums. Guess the Chamber of Commerce will step up.

The stadiums and spring training facilities that the tax payers paid for are empty. I'll never watch or go to another baseball game in my life, the get no more of my money.

This billy goat curse continues.

So happy we pour millions of taxpayer dollars into unused stadiums and practice fields. When will we learn?

Boomers about to be pissed 😂

Millionaires arguing with billionaires. A shortened Spring Training will mean increased injuries during the regular season. Pitchers will be at greatest risk. SMDH😡

Worth remembering that the billionaire MLB team owners chose this lockout. It was not required. Spring training would have started already, if the owners were less greedy. They can negotiate a new CBA while spring training is going. They are just using the lockout as leverage.
