The Dodgers and Angels could return to their home ballparks for a potential 2020 season, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday.
Major League Baseball would like to start the season the first week of July. On the first business day after the league released a 67-page protocol for handling health and safety issues, the governors of California, New York and Texas all said teams would be welcome to play games in their states.
Games would not be open to fans, at least for the first part of the season.
Commissioner Rob Manfred has spoken recently with Newsom and other governors, assuring them the league could obtain the necessary coronavirus tests without depriving the local community of them.
