In a bid to exhaust every potential scenario Major League Baseball could face this season, SNY's Andy Martino made an interesting discovery Friday.
If an outbreak of COVID-19 cases forces one or more of MLB's 30 teams to drop out mid-season, the league will not necessarily be required to suspend the season or shut it down.
According to a newly revealed passage in the agreement between MLB and the players union, commissioner Rob Manfred will decide if and when it is appropriate to suspend or cancel an individual game or the entire season. His decision will be based on several factors, including the "competitive integrity" of the game.
