MLB on Friday sent teams a first draft of an Operations Manual with proposed rules for this coronavirus-delayed season once it finally begins.

According to media reports, they include: no high-fives, fist bumps, spitting, bat boys/girls, mascots or lineup card exchanges; players can't touch their face to give signs or lick their fingers; first- and third-base coaches can't approach baserunners or umpires; players shouldn't socialize with opponents; and managers and coaches must wear masks in the dugouts. Teams were asked to respond with suggested input.
