With the MLS Players Association coming to an agreement with MLS on Wednesday about a modified CBA and financial concessions for this year, we expect to be hearing about the league’s return to play plan in the coming days.
One of the big questions — in fact, I asked it yesterday in reporting the accord between the league and the MLSPA — was whether Chicharito will be going to the expected restart event, a centralized tournament in Orlando that will keep players in Florida for about six weeks. Chicharito’s wife is pregnant with their second child, and the couple have a young child already, and previous reports indicated the league’s proposal to have players away in Orlando for up to two months was met with resistance from the Mexican superstar, among others.
