Jeff Passan reports early Tuesday morning:
“NEWS: Major League Baseball and the MLBPA are focusing on a plan backed by federal health officials that could have players in training camps by May and games soon thereafter.”
It seems an inevitability at this point that Major League Baseball is determined to proceed with the season as planned, likely planning to start games without fans in attendance in remote spring training parks until getting the all clear from health officials to resume normal league activities. Should the league stop to consider if rushing the start of the season to the tune of a few lackluster, empty-ballpark games is really what’s best for baseball?
