Braves Who Could Benefit From This Wacky 2020
Baseball is back!
The road wasn’t a smooth one – the players and owners never actually reached a negotiated agreement – but that’s a story for another day. Today, baseball will be back in our living rooms in a matter of weeks, and that’s cause for celebration.
What has rightfully been cause for skepticism is how baseball is returning. This won’t be a 162-game marathon stretching six full months before reaching a playoff field, but it will rather be a 60-game sprint covering just more than two months. Additionally, the dreaded (or perhaps anticipated) designated hitter has arrived in the National League, among other rumored rule changes.
