If you're going through baseball withdrawals, there might be some good news for you.
ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Monday, citing sources, that MLB and the players' association are working on a plan that eventually would lead to the 2020 season starting sometime in May, with all games being played in the Phoenix, Arizona area.
No specific date in May was given, but Passan reported that the plan being worked on has the approval of "high-ranking federal public health officials."

The start of the 2020 season was delayed March 12 due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
According to Passan, players, coaches and essential team personnel would be isolated at hotels in Arizona, and only would be allowed to go back and forth between the hotel and the stadiums.
Passan reported, citing sources, that players appear to be skeptical of the idea of separating from their families for four-plus months.
Former A's pitcher Brett Anderson doesn't appear to be a fan of the idea.
As you might expect, this plan is far from a certainty, and Passan reported, citing sources, that some officials believe a June start date for the season is more realistic.

In an interview with KNBR 680 on Friday, Giants CEO Larry Baer said he believes the idea of putting all 30 teams in Arizona might be the best option.
“I think we’ve got to look at the path that presents the best public health option,” Baer said. “Arizona might be a better possibility because you could get 30 teams there in more approximate distancing, meaning that everybody would not be a four or five-hour drive from one ballpark to another.”
It remains to be seen if the league and the players' association can clear all the hurdles to make this happen, but at the very least, it's a glimmer of hope for those craving to watch live baseball again.
