With just over a week until players are set to report to Spring Training camps, the league still has some details to figure out. MLB and the Player’s Union have been in ongoing discussions, most recently reported as a desire to delay the season. The Union did not give in on that matter out of fear of giving Rob Manfred too much power heading into the 2021 season.
The latest update is that the two sides have progressed toward establishing health and safety protocols for the new year. These protocols are supposed to include rules changes for the MLB season and it sounds like a few from last year will stick around.
