March 26 is a big day for baseball fans across the country. It's opening day but unfortunately, we were closed at the beginning of this year.

According to the New York Post, with health and safety regulations in place the 2020 MLB season is set to take place with a potential opening date on July, 24.

According to ESPN, the season will be shortened from the typical 162 games to 60 and players will receive 37% of their salaries.
