The Miami Marlins could be playing baseball as early as the first week of July, according to a potential proposal to have players begin preparing for the 2020 season.
It appears the light at the end of the tunnel is a bit brighter as a “return-to-play” proposal will be offered to the MLB Players Association with a week, which could signal a return to work for the Miami Marlins and the other 29 franchises.
