Last one from me on a Friday.

Here’s some good news entering the weekend:

This follows reports from earlier in the week that Major League Baseball could be back up and running by July.

The latest from ESPN’s Jeff Passan:


Major League Baseball expects to offer a return-to-play proposal to the MLB Players Association within a week, as teams have begun to encourage players to prepare for a “spring” training that could begin in mid-June and a season that could start in early July, sources familiar with the discussions told ESPN.

…

General managers and managers from at least a dozen teams have reached out to players to suggest that they ramp up baseball activities, those familiar with the conversations — including executives, players and agents — told ESPN. Some teams have suggested that players prepare for a spring training that could begin as early as June 10 and a season that could begin July 1, dates first suggested publicly by former player Trevor Plouffe. Other teams, sources said, are being more general in their timetables, understanding the complications that hard dates can cause and wanting instead to nudge players toward being in game shape.

Sounds good to me. We’ve got Korean baseball, UFC, and German soccer on the way. We’ll get things back to normal around here, soon enough.
