Rumors have flying around the MLB as to when baseball will get started, and July seems to be the consensus. Bob Nightengale of USA Today confirmed the other day that sources confirmed to him that July 4th was a reasonable start date for Opening Day.
Today, we get a very similar confirmation of that rumor by former MLB player Trevor Plouffe. Plouffe, who hosts the Talkin’ Baseball podcast with Jomboy, confined that he received word from multiple sources on a start date.
A three week Spring Training followed by a July 1st start date sounds accurate, based on the rumors that most in MLB media have reported so far.
