There was plenty of news on Thursday as the wheels slowly started to turn again on a potential 2020 regular season for Major League Baseball. The Players Association officially sent its response to MLB’s health/safety proposal on Thursday according to the New York Post’s Joel Sherman. The response was wide ranging according to Sherman.
On testing, MLB’s proposal called for players and staff being tested multiple times per week, the players are seeking daily testing which would allow more comfort and fewer restrictions within the clubhouse and ballpark. The players are also looking for the lifting of bans on hydrotherapy pools which are a key part of preparation and therapy for many teams.
