Brian-

Has MLB announced the list of approved manufacturers yet? Have any other companies dropped out?

"Admittedly, Filip’s company, Diablo Bats, isn’t worth much these days. He’s fighting to stave off bankruptcy, and he blames MLB. The $500,000 study commissioned by the league resulted in the doubling of a licensing fee required to sell bats to major league players. Filip said he cannot afford the $10,000, nor can he pay for the $10 million in insurance coverage mandated by MLB, also twice as much as last season."
