MLB PLAYERS POSTPONE VOTE

Major League Baseball players postponed a Sunday vote on the most recent returnto-play proposal after commissioner Rob Manfred, pictured, sent union leader Tony Clark a letter questioning whether even a 60-game season is possible due to COVID -19. On Saturday, multiple reports indicated the Major League Baseball Players Association would delay voting on MLB’S latest proposal while it collects further information on health and safety protocols as COVID-19 cases spike in a number of cities. Recent positive coronavirus tests led to the temporary shutdown of training sites by MLB. Before MLB’S action, the Philadelphia Phillies closed their Clearwater, Fla., campus after five players and three staff members tested positive for the coronavirus. The Toronto Blue Jays shut their training site in nearby Dunedin, Fla., after a player exhibited symptoms of COVID-19.
