Because Major League Baseball has been unable to reach an agreement to end the current lockout, games will now be suspended to begin the season. The first two series of the season have been canceled, according to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, and newly acquired Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman is not thrilled about it.
Stroman signed with the Cubs before the MLB lockout, and he was one of the few players who did so. Many more players will sign free-agent contracts after the lockout is done, but the question now is when it will end.
Marcus Stroman has never been one to hold back when it comes to expressing himself on social media, and he did just that on Tuesday.
Stroman recently said the following about MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred in a tweet.
Manfred gotta go.

It's difficult to disagree with Marcus Stroman on this one. Not only is Rob Manfred not getting a deal done between the two parties and encouraging both to finish the job, but he's also laughing about it on stage at his news conference.
This entire issue is a disgrace to baseball, and if it isn't resolved soon, the game will lose a significant number of followers.
Baseball already does a poor job of marketing the game to younger people, and the lockout will just make things worse for future and present fans.
