Baseball is resuming soon, here’s what we know about this season

Baseball’s acrimonious labor stand-off between owners and players appears to be over, and while the two sides never came to an agreement, owners can still implement a schedule, which they are expected to do. Nothing has been officially announced yet, but owners are expected to schedule a 60-game season, to begin around July 24 and run until September 27. Teams will begin spring training by July 1, to be held at their home ballpark rather than spring training facilities. Players will receive their full pro-rata salary, so a 60-game season will mean players receive about 37 percent of what their full salary would have been.
