MLB still hasn’t figured out a lot of things they’ll need to before the 2021 season

Today is December 14.

About two months from today, if all goes as scheduled, pitchers and catchers will report to spring camps, with spring games scheduled to commence about two weeks after that.

And yet, teams are still operating in the dark about a lot of things they’ll need to know before playing a single game in 2021.

Will the universal DH be agreed to by players and owners? Last week teams were told to operate as if it wouldn’t happen, and I suppose they are, but this cuts the market for free-agent DH-types like Nelson Cruz, Marcell Ozuna and Kyle Schwarber in half.
