There could be a 2020 Major League Baseball season after all.
Positive negotiations took place Wednesday between MLB and the players’ union with the possibility emerging for a 60-game season starting July 19 with the players receiving their full-pro-rated salaries, two major league sources confirmed.
“There will still be more work to be done, but it’s a step in the right direction,” said Rockies reliever Scott Oberg, the club’s player representative.
A face-to-face meeting in Phoenix between commissioner Rob Manfred and MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark on Tuesday opened the door toward a possible deal as baseball attempts to start up its season in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
