Major League Baseball owners plan to start a short season in July, multiple outlets say. Health officials and the players' union haven't yet agreed.

Major League Baseball owners have finalized a plan that may allow the 2020 season to start on Fourth of July weekend, according to multiple outlets, including the New York Times and ESPN.

The season, which was set to start on March 26, was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. MLB owners and league management have agreed upon an 82-game regular season, down from the traditional 162 games, according to the reports. Spring training will begin in early to mid-June, and games would resume in early July in ballparks without fans, as long as state legislation and health officials allow, reports say.

At least by July we will know if this is safe or not

Надеюсь,что это правда

Take me out to the ball game...

I would be shocked if the players agree.😂😂

D wade seen u play at Marquette since 9th grade.i knew u would be one of the best and I was right.

This is just so riduculous!!

Howler monkeys trying to take the Silverback down

It's been a minute mehn!

The Spring without Sports is slowly turning into the Summer without Sports.

Let’s hope cuomo doesn’t kill the whole state!

And Obama committed treason. So CNN reports about concerts and baseball instead.

MLB is going to ask the players to cut their salary (because only half the games will be played and no fans reducing owners revenue) and the player's union will say no dice.

obamagate

Does anyone actually want to watch baseball though

Postseason play would be expanded from 10 clubs to 14 by doubling wildcards in each league to 4.

Could that sport get more boring?

Rodeos are starting May 22 with no crowds, only TV coverage. Of course, most rodeo events are 6 ft apart. It seems maybe baseball could do something like That?

They will

Rosters would be expanded from 26 to around 30.

I have a question about the virus. Once a person who got sick with the virus and recovered from it. Doesn't he or she become a carrier? If not why, if yes then what should be done.

CNN doesn’t agree either. Careful MLB you will get some hate anchors talking about you brianstelter and ChrisCuomo will talk to their audience of 10 saying how bad you are for thinking about having a season

STOP IT!! THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN

Spring training would start in early to mid June , a person familiar with the decision told the Associated Press.

Meanwhile, we can get eSports a year to shine, maybe?

Stop taking useless step whole world is suffering in pandemic disease and you're going to make a big problem again.

Don’t do it for heaven’s sake that’s putting more pressure on the frontline workers have some mercy on their side they have a family to return to btw I really don’t understand why trump is reopening the country bc he wants to be re-elected so trump doesn’t care about ppl life’s

The best news of the day...play ball!

Should've been done during Spanish Flu. 162 is 100 too many

Working for free

Let’s gets these ballparks packed, time for America to fight back.

I am sure the stadium will be packed, by either people or virus, hope not both

Remember folkes, this same baseball union caused the strike of 95 that drove Michael Jordan to play basketball. The union will kill this plan.

Hope Jose Canseco plays

Get it goin. The ufc just gave a template on how it’s done.

I wonder what a shorter season is like. it might make the game more intense.

“Health officials and the players' union haven't yet agreed” is the only part of this tweet that matters

Just in time for the second wave to start?

Nobody likes 162 games anyways

Finally one league has the balls to step up and say lets start playing again.

Corona is rising again I have heard and people are opening stuff hmm

MLB expected to present players with proposal to begin season in early JulyMLB is expected to submit a proposal to players Tuesday to start the season in early July. The Dodgers and Angels would play at home and largely on the West Coast. what about the East coast what difference does it make if you're on a private jet for 2 hours or 3 hours? not going to work , folks we won’t have sports until player’s and coaches and staff can do it safely, that’s not happening until it runs through populous and ppl have immunity or science can find a way to keeping it at bay , pull for scientists !
