Major League Baseball and the Player's Union have been at odds over the baseball season for months, and now the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has added his two cents into the conversation.
Even though both sides want to play into the fall, Dr. Fauci suggests that the season should be played in the "core summer months" and the season should go "no longer than September."
MLB players and coaches have already tested positive for coronavirus causing league officials to think twice about getting back on the field, but Fauci says that ending the season before September will help the curve which is expected to spike again in September.
So far, MLB and the Player's Union haven't come to a decision, but it's beginning to be crunch time.
Do you agree with Dr. Fauci's suggestion?
