Major League Baseball owners have approved a plan that could start the season around July 4 in ballparks without fans and plan to send it to the players to review on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
The league has been shut down since March when major sports leagues across the U. S. closed their doors in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Spring training would begin in mid-June for three weeks, according to The Associated Press, with an 82-game regular season beginning in early July.
In an effort to cut down on travel, most of the games would be played against opponents in expanded divisions based on geography. The New York Mets and Yankees would play in the same division, for example, as would the Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, Chicago Cubs and White Sox, or Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants.
