Mlb To Continue Boycott

Baseball players almost certainly will continue their boycott against signing contracts until a new labor agreement is reached, the union’s No. 2 official said.

After meeting with 50 agents, Eugene Orza said there was nearly unanimous support to extend the boycott. No player has agreed to a major league contract since owners imposed the salary cap on Dec. 23.

Orza asked the agents to signal their support for an indefinite boycott by a show of hands. Agent Rex Gary said nearly all in attendance backed the move.
