Major League Baseball on Friday canceled the first week of spring training games through March 4 in the first public acknowledgement of the disruption caused by the lockout.
The announcement came with the work stoppage in its 79th day, and a day after economic talks between the management and the Major League Baseball Players Association lasted just 15 minutes.
Spring training was to have started this week, and the exhibition schedule had been set to begin on Feb. 26. There were 16 games set for that day, including the World Series champion Atlanta Braves playing Boston in Florida and the Cleveland Guardians taking on Cincinnati in Arizona. Mike Tauchman of the Colorado Rockies rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run during the second inning against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim during a Spring Training game at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in 2018 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
