OTM Roundtable: How many games do we need?

Related Topics: Whitey Herzog, Roundtable, Pandemic

We’re taking a brief respite from our draft coverage this afternoon to go back to everyone’s favorite topic for this week’s roundtable: The negotiations between players and owners for a potential 2020 season. Nothing has really changed in months on this front with the two sides basically talking over each other at this point. It seems impossible that there won’t be baseball of any sort this year, but it looks increasingly likely that it will be a 48-game season, which is obviously much lower than we’re used to. So, I was curious what people thought about season length in this context, leading me to this week’s roundtable question: What’s the fewest number of games the season could be that you would still take the results at least somewhat seriously?
