During these unprecedented times, hardly anything about today, tomorrow, next month or even next year is certain. Among those uncertainties is whether the 2020 Major League Baseball season will be able to be played.
In a recent letter to Phillies employees — committing to pay them through May with no layoffs or pay cuts — Phillies Managing Partner John Middleton says he believes the 2020 season will eventually happen.
“I am neither an epidemiologist nor a public policy maker, but I do know our industry, and it is my sincere belief that baseball will be played this year,” Middleton wrote in his letter, obtained by NBC Sports Philadelphia.
