Major League Baseball took one step closer toward a potential return when team owners collectively agreed on a proposal for the 2020 regular season. The plan has since been sent to the Players Association, whom must now give final approval.
The two sides discussed health protocols at length earlier in the week, including how often players will be tested over the course of the regular season. The plan is for players to be administered multiple tests per week and receive results within 24 hours.
The samples will reportedly be sent to a Utah lab, who is also working with MLB to expand its testing capability for the general public.
