[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1539539, member: 85743"] MLB owners approve plan that would have baseball return by July 4: [URL]https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29162217/owners-approve-mlb-season-proposal-plan-july-start-players-union-preps-weigh-it[/URL] Now it's up to the players to approve it. Among some of the details of the plan: -An expansion of playoff teams from 10 to 14 -An 82-game season -The use of home stadiums in areas that have local and state governmental approval -A so-called spring training 2.0 that begins in June with a season set for early July -A universal designated hitter -Geographical schedules, in which teams play only in-division opponents and interleague opponents in a similar area (i.e., American League Central teams play only AL Central and National League Central teams) -A 30-man roster with a taxi squad that would have upward of 50 players available It appears that the only team that wouldn't be able to play in their normal home stadium would be Toronto who would be forced to likely play at their spring training home in Dunedin, FL.
