DENVER (CBS4) -- Gov. Jared Polis says Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort is "cautiously optimistic" that the players and the owners will reach an agreement.

"We are excited that hopefully in mid-July, we'll welcome the Rockies back for a limited spring training course field, and then a limited regular season," Gov. Polis said Thursday. "And we certainly hope that the owners and the players come together soon around a final agreement."
