MLB and the players’ union have been unable to agree on labor terms for a shortened, economically affected season. Josh Reddick’s stance on matters seems clear.

The Houston Astros outfielder sent a tweet on Saturday that expressed a very clear message: “I just want to play baseball.”

Reddick’s feelings probably are aligned with those of many other players who want to get back to work, but the sides are trying to work out a deal, and there has not been much progress.

Reddick is recovering from a November shoulder surgery and is competing with Kyle Tucker for a spot in Houston’s outfield. He batted .275 with 14 home runs and a .728 OPS last season.
