EDGE Analysis

The league and the MLBPA announced an agreement on a 60-game season earlier Tuesday night, so the positive tests provide an immediate reminder regarding the realities of resuming baseball amid the pandemic. The season is expected to begin July 23 or 24, so Blackmon will have about a month to clear the virus and ramp up for the start of games.
