No one knows when the 2020 Major League Baseball season will start. However, when it does there’s no doubt that the rosters will have to be expanded. The idea of multiple doubleheaders in a week and a season that may extend into the Thanksgiving holiday will surely require more than 26 players. So, what might the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day roster look like with 30 spots available?
Now, 30 is a guess. But, it’s an educated guess. If multiple doubleheaders per week are on the horizon, a sixth starter is going to be a must. Pitchers typically pitch every fifth day, even though Reds starter Trevor Bauer would prefer every fourth.
