2020 MLB season officially announced

The 2020 MLB season is finally on the way.

Although the owners and players never reached a deal on financial terms, the league on Monday exercised its right to impose a season at full prorated salaries. All that was left was to agree on health and safety protocols amid the coronavirus pandemic, and that got done Tuesday, reports Karl Ravech of ESPN. “Game on,” said Ravech.

The current plan is for the season to last 60 games, beginning either July 23 or 24. Players will report to training camp by July 1, and will undergo testing upon arrival.
