On March 4, 2022, a lockout was enforced by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred due to failed labor negotiations with the Players Association, raising concerns among fans about the potential for a baseball absence. While many fans are worried, some believe a labor stoppage may be necessary to address significant issues in the sport, such as the lack of a salary cap or floor. The conversation encourages fans to share their thoughts on the situation and its implications for the upcoming season. Fans are invited to contribute questions for future discussions throughout spring training.
