It appears that there is a dispute about coaches and other non players getting paid to participate in the Japan Major League opening day festivities.  The red sox have already held a one day strike boycotting their last spring training game today. 

Here is the article.

Major league baseball is of course capable of retracting promises made to both the A's and BoSox to be a part of this trip. I  wonder if the A's will follow suit or be MLB's lackey boys.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
