For a quick moment on Monday, there appeared to be some progress towards making the 2020 Major League Baseball season a reality.
That is, until the players’ union had its say in the matter.
Initially, MLB owners agreed on a proposal that would be sent to the union for review on Tuesday. The plan saw players returning to spring training sometime in mid-June, with an eye on starting the regular season on July 4. In addition, included in the proposal was a plan to incorporate a designated hitter into the National League rules. The biggest part of the deal, though, was a prospective revenue sharing plan between the owners and the players.
