No one knows when the 2020 baseball season will actually commence. We’ve heard the middle of May tossed about, but in reality we’re likely looking at early-June and perhaps even later. How might that affect Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker? Well, if the season is cut in half, Winker may miss out on his first year of arbitration.
According top FanGraphs, Jesse Winker currently has two years and 80 days of accrued service time. With the current delay to begin the season, Joel Sherman of the New York Post is reporting that service time is among the biggest discussions currently between the players union and Major League Baseball.
