One of the first signs that the novel coronavirus pandemic was going to be more than a passing fad in the United States was when the NBA season was indefinitely suspended on March 11th — two months ago today. In the weeks that followed, all live sports were either canceled or suspended, and before long, most of the country had shut down. Discussions about bringing sports back have been ongoing ever since they disappeared, and now, two months later, Major League Baseball has taken the first tangible step to playing games on American soil again.
According to the Associated Press, MLB owners have approved a proposal that will be presented to players for the 2020 season. ESPN reports that MLB plans to meet with the players union on Tuesday to discuss the plan and start negotiations that could lead to the season kicking off during the Fourth of July weekend.
