Major League Baseball‘s season will start on time after the players said no last night, February 1st, to a proposal from the league to push it back by about a month.

MLB had proposed that the start of the season by delayed from April 1st to April 28th, with spring training to begin March 22nd instead of February 17th, and for the season to be cut to 154 games from 162.

The reasoning had been to give more time for coronavirus vaccinations and because the league believed the virus situation would improve more with the delay.
