Major League Baseball and the players association has agreed to allow teams to have an extra pitcher for the month of May. The two sides announced Tuesday that teams can carry as many as 14 pitchers from May 2nd thru the 29th. The move is the result of the shortened spring training following the owner’s lockout.
