The 2020 season is slated to start in the summer.
Although the coronavirus pandemic has canceled most sporting events around the globe, Major League Baseball players may actually have a 2020 season.
MLB owners reportedly gave approval to a draft proposal that would have players suited up for the 2020 season in early July, possibly around the Fourth of July weekend, according to an Associated Press report released Monday. Spring training would be set for mid-June, and teams would be expected to play a regular 82-game season. However, the 2020 All-Star Game, which was originally scheduled at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium on July 14, will likely be canceled.
The proposal, which team owners are expected to present to the players union on Tuesday, also calls for teams to play at their home ballparks. But games would be held at training stadiums and other smaller facilities if state governments do not give clubs a green light to play at major home stadiums and if certain travel restrictions aren’t lifted.
