Red Sox News: Dennis Eckersley believes MLB can’t afford to miss 2020

It’s officially June and we still haven’t seen a single pitch of actual baseball in 2020. Just as things were getting good in spring training, the coronavirus stopped the world. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone this long without seeing the Red Sox take the field at Fenway Park, and I do not like it.

As it stands, neither side seems too willing to give in to the other. Both the MLB and MLBPA have offered up proposals that the other side has declined. The players want more games which would then allow them to earn more of their salaries, while the owners want fewer games so they can keep more money.
