Atlanta Braves: MLB's restart plan looks to honor McGuirk's mandate

The old saw goes that a camel is what a horse would look like if it had been designed by a committee. In that metaphor, the Atlanta Braves might be the camel's hump.

Compromises are being made - elsewhere - and negotiations continue, so the usual caveats apply: "nothing is official yet". That said, Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich are reporting that the framework of a plan for starting the 2020 season might be presented to the MLB Players Union as early as Tuesday (subscription required).

Let's hit the highlights:

  • That floated restart date of July 1st appears to be real - within a couple of days at least
  • The idea of playing through the month of October and then starting playoffs in November?
