The Major League Baseball is more than three months into its current work stoppage after the owners locked out players in December.

While teams should be in Florida and Arizona for spring training, negotiations remains stalled and the animosity grows - from owners, players and fans. The first two weeks of the regular season have already been cancelled. More cancellations are coming soon it appears.

Which side do you blame?

Vote this week and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will report the final results next Monday. The AJC will provide another weekly poll from the world of local sports each week in a new online feature.

Nakobe Dean, 49.51%

Travon Walker, 23.89%

Jordan Davis, 19.21%

Devonte Wyatt, 4.43%
