After 3 long months of waiting, MLB and the MLBPA finally came to an agreement on beginning the 2020 regular season. In a couple days, teams will start a mid-summer version of spring training—aka “Summer Camp”—and then begin the season on July 23-24.
With every spring training comes roster battles, but this summer will have a bit of a twist. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teams will initially be afforded some additional flexibility with their rosters. On Sunday, teams submitted their initial 60-man pools. Players from these pools can be added to the major league roster at any time during the season as long as they’re also placed on the 40-man roster.
