The Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers have jointly filed legal papers to request arbitration in their dispute with the city of Glendale regarding needed construction at Camelback Ranch-Glendale, the spring training home of both teams.
And the clock is ticking on having the Major League Baseball-mandated work completed by spring training. The earliest published reporting date for pitchers and catchers is currently Tuesday, Feb. 14, and teams’ staff usually arrives as early as January.
The impasse stems from MLB’s directive to all clubs to provide locker rooms on site for female umpires. MLB issued a memo in March 2021 to all teams and general managers about the mandate.
