It has now been three months since Major League Baseball was last played due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and there still is no return date set in stone.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred recently guaranteed that there will be a 2020 season, only to then go back on that with sharp criticism aimed at the Players Association. Manfred can impose a shortened season, which figures to likely be around 50 games.
The players were hoping for a longer season of at least 89 games, but with their commitment to receiving full prorated salaries, the owners are pushing for the fewest number of games possible.
