Texas Rangers met with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred before a Mets game in New York in a cordial session as the CBA clock ticks toward its 2026 end. Rangers rep Josh Jung said the talk centered on growth of the game, not labor talk. Bryce Harper had earlier pressed Manfred on labor issues, while Jacob deGrom’s return to NYC added a tangible storyline for fantasy managers navigating a season of labor-sensitive planning.
