If baseball returns in 2020, it is going to look a lot different than anything we have seen before. And no, I’m not talking about the marvelous image of Mookie Betts wearing Dodger Blue—although, I am hoping beyond hope we get to see that, too.
With reports circulating about a plan that would start the upcoming season in late June or early July, perhaps in local ballparks, with 100-games slated on the schedule, it is obvious that teams will be forced to play a lot of games in a small amount of time.
Without the aid of neutral sites, where weather doesn’t become a disqualifying playing factor by late October, MLB would need to cram 100 games into 90+ days.
