    I gotta admit, I think the players are 100% in the right.

    Right now the spring training game is listed as delayed. So it seems they are following through.

    Sounds like they won..either that or threatened. the MLB lawyers were involved. Thing is contracts don't cover spring training so I doubt there were any threats.

    FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox and Major League baseball on Wednesday resolved a dispute over bonus pay for coaches for a trip to Japan, hours after the team unanimously voted not to play Wednesday's scheduled spring training game or board a plane for Japan.
