Major League Baseball expects to present a return-to-play proposal to the MLB Players Association within a week.

Teams have begun to encourage players to prepare for a "spring" training that could begin in mid-June with the season beginning in early July.

There are a significant number of hurdles remaining and the return dates in June and July are considered overly optimistic. 

General managers and managers from at least a dozen teams have reached out to players to suggest that they ramp up baseball activities.
