Pact Signing Time Moves MLB Toward 1965 Contracts
Major league owners continue signing players for the coming season with many agreeing to standard pacts for 1955. Only Vic Wertz of the Cleveland Indians is publicly unhappy with his deal, having earned about 25,000 in 1954 and offered the same for 1955. Wertz may seek a higher salary before spring training as holdouts become rarer in modern baseball, unlike earlier eras when players fought for every raise and often held out into the season.
