While we can’t be sure when baseball will return if at all, Major League Baseball is reportedly putting a plan in place in case the window opens for a season to be played in 2020. Matt Spiegel of 670 AM The Score in Chicago has put together a possible outline while citing “a well informed source” that does business with MLB executives. Here is what it would look like as laid out by FanGraphs’ Jay Jaffe.
Citing “a well informed source that does business with multiple MLB execs,” Spiegel reported that MLB is discussing the possibility of a 100-game season that would begin July 1; eliminate the All-Star Game, which is currently scheduled for July 14 at Dodger Stadium; eventually pick up the post All-Star Game schedule; and run through October 15.
