When and where? Major league players got their answer on the first part earlier this week with MLB imposing a schedule that opens a second round of spring training July 1 and a 60-game season about three weeks later.
The “where” is still being finalized, but almost every club will be based in its home city with a second, nearby site for training and then a taxi squad during the season.
And that’s “where” the Cubs could find a position of strength among their big-league peers in both quality of facilities and potential containment of any coronavirus outbreaks.
