I think I saw somewhere that the umpires offered retirement have until April 15 to accept it, but I may be wrong. I have a feeling we're going to be waiting until opening day to officially see the crews, and even then some of them will probably change.
BTW- has anyone seen a lot of spring training games and could tell us any umpires they haven't seen?
goyanksgonj - on worldumpires.com there is a list of umpires who are working spring training games- the only new umpire with a number is Peter Durfee, who has Darren Spagnardi's #79. There are a couple of new names on there, but without numbers, which leads me to believe they will not be working MLB games this year.
