Several different plans for having a 2020 Major League Baseball season have been discussed by owners and players. Among them is one to play in teams’ home ballparks without fans, which I detailed here Wednesday.
Now, we learn that these empty ballparks could be used for a “spring training” resumption, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today:
The move would be driven by an interest in saving time and money, with training camps expected to last three weeks before the start of the truncated regular season.
Training in their home ballparks would largely eliminate the need for hotel rooms and per diem for the players during Spring Training 2.
