MLB might be back sooner than we all thought. After reports flew around this week from unconfirmed sources, we now have one much closer to the situation.
Jeff Passan of ESPN is reporting that some MLB teams have already started telling their players to make sure they are ready to go. This comes just a few days after Trevor Plouffe reported that a source told him games would be started by July 1st. Per Passan:
Major League Baseball expects to offer a return-to-play proposal to the MLB Players Association within a week, as teams have begun to encourage players to prepare for a “spring” training that could begin in mid-June and a season that could start in early July, sources familiar with the discussions told ESPN.
