As time passes by and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic becomes slightly more contained throughout the United States, optimism surrounding the 2020 Major League Baseball season continues to grow.
The league has discussed a variety of plans, such as playing all games in Arizona, Florida and potentially Texas with no fans in attendance while players stay quarantined at hotels to avoid getting the virus.
It appears keeping everyone in two or three states may not be entirely necessary though. The latest report about a possibility MLB is discussing would include games at home stadiums without fans in attendance, via Bob Nightengale of USA Today:
Major League Baseball officials have become cautiously optimistic this week that the season will start in late June, and no later than July 2, playing at least 100 regular-season games, according to three executives with knowledge of the talks.
