Baseball is coming back. Or, I suppose more accurately, there is a plan in place for baseball to come back. On Monday, the players rejected the final offer for a new deal from the owners, meaning Rob Manfred imposed a season under the March 26 agreement. Players still had to approve that, but that’s exactly what happened on Tuesday and now baseball is officially on its way back. Players are heading to teams’ home parks for a roughly three-week spring training and Opening Day is slated for July 23 and July 24.
Obviously, this is not going to be a normal season with only 60 games being played over the course of 66 days.
