Six Man Rotations and a Draft Update

Players are expected to report to camp beginning today and there are a couple of topics that have caught my attention. It has been close to 50 years since MLB moved from a four man rotation into the current five man rotation. However for 2020, in an abbreviated season, the six man rotation is being considered.

There are now a couple of teams coming out indicating that they are going to go with 6 starters to begin the season. First the Angels came out with a six man primarily because they wanted Shohei Ohtani to only pitch once a week.
