Additional Details of MLB, Union Agreement Include Conditions for Start of Season

Per the agreement reached Thursday and ratified by owners Friday, the players union will have final approval over the schedule for the 2020 season. There’s still a whole lot of time between now and the most optimistic start date in June, but both sides remain committed to playing as many games as possible. That means meeting a series of conditions, as ESPN’s Jeff Passan tweeted Friday.

In order for the season to resume, it is understood that there can be no travel restrictions in place and that medical experts have given the green light.
