While Major League Baseball remains on hiatus, league officials are doing their best to prepare for what a return to play could look like. On top of all the scheduling scenarios, one issue in particular that's sure to become a sticking point is just what kind of ramp-up period teams will need before their rosters are ready for Opening Day.
According to Toronto Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro, that process may require a full month of training camp.
"Knowing that so many players are not even having any access to throwing at all or hitting at all, but most importantly just throwing, and probably limited access to just training and exercise, it's hard to imagine we could get ready in less than four weeks," Shapiro said in a teleconference, via the Associated Press.
