MLB cancels more Spring Training games as owners and players seek to hammer out a new agreement
CNN
Major League Baseball canceled more Spring Training games on Friday due to the ongoing labor dispute between owners and players, the league said.
"While negotiations have yet to result in an agreement, we are committed to working around the clock through Monday's deadline," MLB said in a statement.
Last week, MLB announced the cancelation of some scheduled preseason games. The games, which were set to begin on February 26 with some exhibition games beginning a day earlier, would no longer start earlier than March 5. Now the league has canceled games through March 7.
The judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York on Friday informed the former president’s defense team and prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office that a comment was posted on the New York State Unified Court Systems’ public Facebook page last week by a poster who claimed to be a cousin of a juror, saying that Trump would be convicted.
