MLB, Union Reach Agreement on 2020 Playoff Format That May Include No Off-Days in Pre-World Series Rounds

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic tweeted Tuesday morning that Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have reached an agreement on the 2020 postseason format, including neutral-site bubbles for each round. The specifics of those sites were first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan last week and included higher seeds hosting all three opening-round games, with subsequent series being hosted at neutral sites.

The only holdup at the time appeared to be whether and how families would be able to enter the semi-quarantine bubble, but Rosenthal reports that those details have all been worked out.
