Podcast: What to expect as spring training delay unfolds. And Marlins prospect updates

It’s pitchers and catchers week! There’s just one big problem: Big-league pitchers and catchers aren’t going to be there.

Spring training is delayed as MLB and the MLB Players Association still have not come to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement.

When will they finalize that deal? Who knows at this point.

But what is known: They’re running out of time to get this deal done in order to ensure the regular season starts on time on March 31.

On this week’s episode of Fish Bytes, Miami Herald Marlins beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre Fernandez look at where things stand and what Marlins players are doing to stay ready. We also provide an update on what’s going on at the Marlins’ development camp in Jupiter.
