Though Trevor Plouff’s initial report about MLB restarting spring training on June 10 with a July 1 Opening Day was roundly refuted, his only real mistake was treating the information as definitive. Well, that and saying that teams would all be in their home parks to start the season. The July 1 target has long been discussed, with a three-week ramp-up seen as probable, but firm dates simply can’t be set and the league has not presented MLBPA with a proposal yet.
That will change within the week, according to Ken Rosenthal, who tweeted as much alongside a link to his earlier story ($) about the difficulty of setting anything in stone just yet.
