Initial reports held that MLB players and execs felt the season might get underway again in May, but recent developments have pushed that back even further. MLB Network insider Jon Heyman tweeted Sunday that “anytime before June would be viewed as welcome,” and USA Today’s Bob Nightengale has heard more of the same.
Citing information from two anonymous MLB execs, Nightengale wrote that the start of the season could be delayed until at least Memorial Day weekend. For those who aren’t super familiar with which holidays fall where, he’s basically saying June is a more realistic target.
