An extended stretch of MLB games without fans would be awkward. But less than not having games at all in 2020.

ESPN‘s Jeff Passan noted last week, that as part of the deal the MLB and MLBPA reached, both sides acknowledged that their goal was to begin the season when fans would be able to attend games. However, Passan also added that the two sides would further research the possibility of playing in front of empty stadiums as a solution to at least start the season.
