The fact that MLB did not follow the NBA and NHL in their bubble format was a little bit surprising. So it makes sense that baseball is now looking at regional bubbles for the playoffs coming up in October.
Jeff Passan of ESPN first reported yesterday that MLB was in preliminary talks about setting up a bubble-format. It would not operate like the NBA in terms of there being one location. Rather, it would operate similarly to that of the NHL, with regional locations being used.
The playoffs could potentially start in three locations for the wild card round.
