MLB and MLBPA agree on 2020 season details: Q&A

MLB and the MLB Players Union have ratified an agreement that brings some clarity to the 2020 baseball season while opening up some other questions.

That’s great news, because it’s a good starting point necessary for getting the season going. It clears up several contention points and sets a path forward that will guide decisions for the rest of the year.

However, there are still a lot of unknowns right now, such as how long everyone will need to continue social distancing before people can safely gather in crowds again, how long teams will need to prepare before getting the season started, and how long the regular season will last.
