MLB Wants to Delay 2021 Season to Accommodate Vaccinations, Players Want to Maintain Regular Schedule

According to Bob Nightengale’s report for USA today, Major League Baseball and the players union are at odds over how the 2021 season should progress. The league would like to delay the season, potentially even shortening it to less 140 games, in order to ensure that all players and other team personnel are vaccinated. The players believe they’ve already proven the ability to abide by protocols and want the season to start on time with a full schedule and full pay.

I’m guessing Tony Clark and the MLBPA won’t be using Justin Turner and the Dodgers as the example here.
