MLB, MLBPA agree to health and safety protocols, set for shortened season

Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association have agreed upon health and safety protocols for the league-implemeted 60-game season, according to a variety of baseball reporters.

After months of not settling upon terms for the economic side of things—with MLB making a variety of offers that were meant to look better but still deliver the same reductions in pay that the owners were seeking all along—owners had their commissioner implement a 60-game season, as was his right based on the initial agreement between the league and the union when spring training was shut down back in March.
