One way the New York Yankees and MLB could supplement the loss of regular season games

Error 0:

With all baseball activities being canceled for the foreseeable future, the New York Yankees should be preparing for one of the strangest regular seasons ever experienced. Fitting all 162 games into the year will be difficult as operations won’t begin for at least another six weeks, and likely longer due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The assumption that the season will be shortened opens up a number of alternative ideas that could supplement the loss of games — one of the ideas is doubleheaders. If MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is forced to restructure the season, enforcing doubleheaders is a fantastic workaround to ensure teams play as many games as possible.
