More details are beginning to roll out about the agreement between Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association with regards to the 2020 season. We wrote about some of it earlier – how the money is being handled, how the service time will be handled, a little bit about the draft, and more. But Jeff Passan of ESPN reported more on Friday afternoon about what the two sides agreed upon with regards to when they could begin playing games again – and it’s pretty complicated.
* The caveat agreed to by the players and league is that they will consider playing games at neutral sites instead of home ballparks — and will consider the feasibility of playing in empty stadiums and just how proper a solution it may be for both sides and especially fans.
