The MLB season should be more than two months old at this point. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic this is not the case. Instead, fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates and every other MLB team are stuck waiting and hoping for good news.
According to Jon Heyman of the MLB Network, that good news will not come before the original soft June 1 deadline. Owners and players alike were hoping to have a deal to start the 2020 season hammered out by June 1. Unfortunately, that did not happen.
All hope may not be lost for baseball, however.
