It’s too early to say if or when Major League Baseball will be able to return, but without live games to watch, you’ll have to excuse my mind for wandering a little.
Last night I got thinking about what would happen to the Blue Jays’ roster if there was no baseball at all in 2020, which is a depressing, but realistic possibility. I’m not expecting that to be the case, but it’s probably wise for the Blue Jays’ front office to at least consider the possibility.
Since the MLB office and the Player’s Association have already agreed to honour this year’s service time for players regardless of whether there is a season or not, teams can basically operate as if the season took place in terms of dealing with contracts.
