MLB has told managers to prepare for ‘on-time’ Spring Training

In the continuing saga regarding whether we’ll have a “normal” 162-game season in 2021, I posted this article Wednesday that contained this quote from an Evan Drellich article in The Athletic:

Major League Baseball has asked the Players Association if it would be open to a shortened season in 2021, particularly one starting a month late, sources said. The union’s position has remained unchanged from what executive director Tony Clark outlined at the start of the offseason: The players are planning for a 162-game season and plan to show up to spring training on time.
