Tuesday evening, we learned that Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Player’s Association plan to move forward with a 60-game 2020 season. Teams will report to the second round of spring training on July 1, with the expectation that the season will start on either July 23 or July 24.
All isn’t back to normal, though. Far from it, really.
Earlier in the day, the Phillies confirmed that three more employees in the organization tested positive for COVID-19, one of whom was a player that wasn’t at the team’s facility in Clearwater, where there had been eight cases of the virus confirmed previously.
