Union head has no problem with Mets' winter workouts

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) Baseball players' association head Tony Clark says the union has no problems with the Mets' voluntary offseason workout program but will continue to monitor it.

Clark spoke to the team Sunday at Tradition field as part of his tour of all major league spring training camps.

Many Mets players spent part of the offseason working out at a fitness center at New York's training complex in Florida run by the person responsible for overseeing the organization's strength and fitness programs, Mike Barwis.

The fact that players paid to work out with Barwis has brought attention to the program, but Clark sees no problem.
