This Friday marks three months since Major League Baseball’s originally-scheduled Opening Day, before the COVID-19 pandemic forced its postponement. By this point in the season, we would have been analyzing where the Mets stood in the standings, celebrating the players who made the All-Star team—and criticizing the snubs—and theorizing what trades could help give the team a much-needed second-half boost.
Late last night, 30 MLB owners voted to have Commissioner Rob Manfred implement a 60-game season as per the terms of the March 26 agreement. This means that the likelihood is that we will see something close to a 60-game season starting on or around July 24-26 with players reporting to camp by July 1.
