MLB season gets nod
Print Edition
Major League Baseball said on Monday owners have voted unanimously to proceed with the 2020 season amid the COVID-19 outbreak after the players’ union shot down a proposal to play a shortened 60-game campaign. The vote to reject the proposal by the MLB Players Association sub-committee allows MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred to intervene and set a schedule of his choosing under terms of a March agreement between the two sides. “In view of this rejection, the MLB clubs have unanimously voted to proceed with the 2020 season under the terms of the March 26 agreement,” MLB said. MLB was to open its 162-game regular season in late March but delayed the campaign. MLB and the players’ union have been trying to find common ground on a return plan but are unable to agree on areas like player compensation and the number of games.
