If Major League Baseball stands by its self-imposed Monday deadline to avoid canceling games, MLB players are likely going to have to find some way to fill the time.
Some players are already looking at new ideas to keep busy.

The MLBPA did say that players could pursue international opportunities during the lockout, after all.
Yankees outfield Joey Gallo took a more traditional approach to scoring a new gig. He started a LinkedIn page.
