We are now only a couple of weeks from the planned commencement of 2021 Spring Training. After the Players Association rejected the league’s proposal for a 154-game season yesterday, MLB announced that it is planning to start Spring Training and the MLB season on time. If everything goes according to plan, Spring Training would start on February 17 and the season on April 1.
With spring camp slated to start so soon, free agents have been signing with teams at a faster pace over the past couple of weeks. MLB has made life harder on National League teams, as there yet has to be a final word whether the universal designated hitter will return.
