The schedule for Major League Baseball spring training remains unchanged at this point despite the ongoing owner-imposed lockout, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced Thursday at a press conference. Manfred was speaking after the conclusion of the owners' meetings in Florida and less than a week before pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to camp.

"The status of spring training is no change right now," Manfred said.

Ten weeks have passed since the owners locked out the players after the last collective bargaining agreement expired on Dec. 1, and the two sides are set to meet again Saturday. MLB and the owners are expected to offer a new collective bargaining agreement to the MLB Players Association nearly two weeks after the last proposal from the MLBPA.

MLB's slow-playing of negotiations — the league waited 43 days into the lockout to make its first core economics proposal — has made it likely spring training will be delayed, even if Manfred didn't confirm so on Thursday. The league requested assistance from a federal mediator last week, a request the MLBPA denied, saying "the clearest path to a fair and timely agreement is to get back to the table."
