Remember March 11? Seems like it was three years ago, not three months ago. That’s when it was announced that NBA star Rudy Gobert had tested positive for COVID-19 and the basketball league shut down its season. The next day MLB shut down spring training and delayed its 2020 season, and the day after that many states and cities in the USA shut down almost completely, with varying reopening dates.
Over the weeks since that flurry of activity in March, I’ve given quite a bit of coverage here to the off-and-on negotiations between MLB owners and players about the length, pay, etc.
