Good morning, Camden Chatters.
We’re just one week away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training, and we still don’t have a complete picture of what the 2021 MLB season will look like. But that picture got a lot clearer yesterday, when MLB and the players’ union agreed on health and safety protocols for the upcoming campaign.
As of this writing, the full details of the agreement haven’t yet been released, but for the most part they’re expected to be similar to those of the truncated 2020 season. There are a couple of key differences, though: there’s no universal DH this year, so pitchers will be back in the batter’s box, to nobody’s enjoyment.
