A shortened season is not what anyone had hoped for — but it could have some interesting ramifications on how the Philadelphia Phillies handle their best pitching prospect.

As we all know, Opening Day will not be taking place this Thursday, March 26. Instead, baseball is currently on an indefinite hiatus caused by the spread of COVID-19.

Although nobody is quite sure when Opening Day will happen now, it does not seem that it will be early enough to allow Major League Baseball to squeeze all 162 games into its teams’ schedules.
