The last year has been challenging not only for baseball, but for everyone, as you surely know.
While we are coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not completely out of the woods yet. Major League Baseball has issued another 100-plus page Operations Manual setting up rules for everything from roster sizes to travel to how many people can be in ballparks in various “tiers.” You saw, no doubt, what happened to Pedro Strop and two members of the Cleveland Indians when they broke MLB protocols a couple of weeks ago.
All of this also applies to the Cubs’ TV channel, Marquee Sports Network.
