BREAKING NEWS : Baseball is coming back in 2020, at least that is the plan.

Looks like there WILL BE major league baseball this Summer in empty stadiums and there will be lots of other differences too but at least there will be baseball, I hope!

Fourth of July weekend - but players would need to agree to revenue split

  • MLB owners are green lighting a proposal to the players' union that could lead to the coronavirus-delayed season starting in empty stadiums around July 4
  • League officials are slated to make a presentation to the union on Tuesday
  • An agreement with the players' association is needed. Talks are expected to be difficult - especially over a proposal for an unprecedented revenue split
  • Baseball players have refused to consider even the frameworks for the type of revenue splits that have been agreed to by unions in the NFL, NBA and NHL 
  • After June's spring training, each team would play about 82 regular-season games against opponents in its own division as well as some interleague play
  • Postseason play would be expanded from 10 clubs to 14 by doubling wild cards in each league to four. The National League would adopt the designated hitter
  • The Toronto Blue Jays might have to play home games in Dunedin, Florida 

And what a GREAT day to get the news Baseball is planning to return!
