    When will MLB return?
    When will the MLB return in 2020? Discuss.


    Enough of the fake news and fear-mongering, it's time for baseball.

        It's not happening. Once the union rejected the Arz plan that was the end.

        Owners better off w no payroll liability. Cannot make profit this season now.

        Best thing NBA can do is renegotiate its CBA, do a July playoff tournament, then start next season Xmas eve!

          No chance for the Arizona/Texas/Florida hubs attempt?

            Nope the players union rejected it.

            Dumbest thing ever

            Could have played 3 games a day from 11am to 8pm for multiple teams, had exclusive advertising and captive home bound audience and States could have profited from betting.

            Its was a great plan B...more reason for owners to lock out players and break this union.

              NBA would seem to have the easiest path to come back IMO so I doubt before that

                They have the hardest actually.

                All the NBA contracts expire 6/30

                It would only take 1 lawsuit to shut it all down. Say you're a FA on a shit team, you sue for injunction to stop this to avoid injury....the injunction (even if temporary) shuts the whole league for 2 weeks min.

                    Didn't know the 'Arizona Plan" was rejected.

                    Looks as though we'll have to wait until June.

                              they cant even figure out Tennis and Golf, the two easiest to bring back.....NHL and NBA need to cancel as they start the new season in October anyway

                              Golf in June without fans is all we might have for awhile

                                    Because it's a self funded sport.

                                    Without attendance at challenger tournaments or a purse at larger touneys there are only a handful of players that could actually afford to compete.

                                    The top 25 guys probably ok, but any chick outside the top 10 doesnt have enough money to make the circuit viable or competitive.

                                                    don't miss it

                                                    only watch some playoffs... stopped betting on it 4 years ago

                                                    just really worried about NFL games not having fans... the Colts have home games vs the Packers and Ravens
