Early discussions about how to best conduct the MLB season included isolating teams to anywhere from one to three hubs, ostensibly to limit exposure by keeping teams close together and eliminating most or all travel. There was also talk of hosting at least the World Series at a neutral location, either in Los Angeles to make up for the loss of the All-Star Game or at a domed stadium.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Monday night that the league is again engaged in preliminary conversations about the viability of a “bubble” or hub format for the postseason.
