The recent updates regarding the status of the CBA negotiations between the MLBPA and MLB cast a glum outlook on the 2022 season. With Spring Training almost sure to be delayed, there’s a serious worry as negotiations fail to progress that these delays could impact the regular season. Players’ frustrations are beginning to mount and among those making their opinions heard is Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman. Stroman sounded off on Rob Manfred and MLB in a fiery Twitter rant on Sunday morning, and he didn’t hold back one bit with his criticism of the MLB commissioner.
In response to a report from SI’s Tom Verducci, suggesting the regular season could very well end up being delayed, Stroman blasted “Manclown and his boys,” suggesting that they “need to figure it out and stop ruining the game of baseball.”
