Bob Nightengale reported that major-league baseball teams will likely use home ballparks for a second spring training. This would be in place of going to normal spring sites in Florida or Arizona.
The plan has a lot of advantages but doesn’t lack drawbacks. Teams wouldn’t have to spend as much by staying put, and the season would also start a bit sooner. However, there isn’t the option to use multiple fields like at normal spring sites. The entire organization would be condensed to the major league park.
Nightengale also reported that the MLB is working to reach an agreement with the umpires union.
