        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It may be orchestrated. It could be social media momentum. Or, possibly, it is simply players expressing their desire to get back on the field.</p><p>Whatever the case may be, several of baseball’s big names have taken to Twitter with a simple message: <a href="https://twitter.com/GerritCole45/status/1272962406482882562?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Tell us when and where.”</a></p><p>From Mike Trout to Pete Alonso, Blake Snell to Bryce Harper, Gary Sanchez and Gerrit Cole, they’ve all tweeted the same five words a day after baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said there&#8217;s a possibility <strong>there won’t be a season</strong> this year due to the ongoing labor strife between the owners and players. Last week, Manfred said he was 100 percent sure there would be a season of some sort, but he backtracked on Monday, as the two sides remain far apart about how long of a season should be played and what percentage of their salaries players should receive.</p><p>Other players expressed a similar sentiment on Twitter as the aforementioned stars, though with different wording. Rhys Hoskins tweeted: “Tell us when and where. We’re ready! We’ve been ready!” with the hashtag &#8220;Let the Kids Play.”</p><p>Trout, the three-time MVP, started the tweet storm by quote-tweeting the MLBPA statement from Monday night, and it only increased from there. It was the first tweet since May for the usually reserved star. The statement included a quote from union head Tony Clark that read, &#8220;It&#8217;s time to get back to work. Tell us when and where.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
