MLB and MLBPA set parameters for when a season could begin

Yesterday, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association agreed to a deal to cover the unprecedented situation of a pandemic-altered season. The MLB season was set to begin yesterday, but due to the coronavirus outbreak the league has suspended operations for the last two weeks, with no resumption in sight.

The details of the deal are still coming out, and yesterday Bryan covered the key points that were revealed, including player compensation, service time in the event of a cancelled season, and the parameters of the MLB draft.

Many of the details depend on whether or not a season is played and, if so, when it would begin.
