May 11 (UPI) — Major League Baseball owners have approved a return-to-play plan that aims to have the sport return by early July in empty stadiums.
League sources told ESPN and The Athletic on Monday that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred plans to present the proposal to players Tuesday. An agreement between the owners and the Major League Baseball Players Association is needed to proceed with the plan.
Tuesday’s meeting between the league and the players’ association will set the stage for what both sides expect to be heated negotiations, according to ESPN.
