If things don’t completely go south in the next month, it looks like we’ll actually have some real Major League Baseball to watch. The Houston Astros will be back on the field to try to defend their American League pennant and avenge their frustrating World Series loss.
There are plenty of new rules and provisions for this shortened 60-game season, and one of those is that teams will start with 30-man rosters. That number will go down to 28 after two weeks and to 26 after four weeks, but at least in the beginning, we’ll have some extra guys on the team.
