Representatives from the umpires and the Major League Baseball Players Association are scheduled to hold a one-day meeting Sunday in Fort Myers.
They will discuss the perceived problems in the relationship between the umpires and players.
The players and umpires had been scheduled to meet at the Winter Meetings in December, but a family death for one of the principals involved in this led to the postponement of that get-together.
Last season, multiple players told ESPN.com's Amy K. Nelson that tensions had increased with umpires.
They also are concerned about a lack of transparency when umpires are evaluated.
