Cactus League officials are determined to be ready for Major League Baseball later this month despite a continuing labor dispute that could leave local spring training games in jeopardy.
Bridget Binsbacher, executive director of the Arizona Cactus League Association, said officials will be ready to host baseball games at the end of February no matter what happens with labor talks.
Arizona has 10 facilities hosting 15 MLB teams and the Phoenix metropolitan area and “holds claim to the greatest concentration of professional baseball facilities found anywhere in the United States,” according to the Cactus League.
