Play ball! At last, MLB, players agree on 60-game, 66-day sprint

Detroit — After 103 days of uncertainty, days fraught with polarizing angst and animosity between owners and players, Major League Baseball is back.

Finally, after numerous proposals and counter-proposals, the two sides agreed on a 60-game in 66-day schedule beginning July 23-24, with players heading to training camps on July 1. The Tigers will hold camp at Comerica Park, using Toledo’s Fifth Third Field as a secondary site.

An official schedule is expected to be presented to the Players’ Association within 72 hours, but teams will play 40 games within their division and 20 interleague games against their geographic rivals.
