While the lockout has major league players away from spring-training activities, minor leagues have begun to prepare for the season.
Everything, except the major leaguers who are supposed to be taking center stage this time of year.
On the backfields of complexes around Arizona and Florida, it leaves only minor league camps to carry on. Because minor leaguers aren’t represented by the Major League Baseball Players Assn., the lockout doesn’t apply to them. Thus, they’ve been quietly preparing in recent weeks for the on-schedule start to their seasons, staging their own spring training under a considerably dimmer spotlight than usual.
For minor leaguers in the Dodgers’ organization, however, this isn’t a wasted camp. This year will be the most normal schedule many of their prospects have experienced in their pro careers, after the pandemic caused the 2020 minor league season to be canceled and the 2021 campaign to be delayed. Dodgers minor league pitcher Bobby Miller, shown during his college career at Louisville, worked in an exhibition against a local independent team Thursday in Arizona.
