We are just a week away from the official return of Major League Baseball and the start of the 2020 regular season. Thank you to everyone who sent in questions for this week’s mailbag. Let’s get right to it.
Is Freddie Freeman going to be ready for Opening Day?
Barring something unexpected, I think the answer is clearly no. Brian Snitker acknowledged earlier this week that Freeman was feeling better, but he will need two negative tests at least 24 hours apart before he is cleared. There is no way to determine when that might happen.
