Red Sox Nation as well as baseball fans the world over got the news they were hoping for tonight as MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred guaranteed a 2020 season. This may come as a bit of a surprise as the owners and players are entrenched in a labor dispute with neither budging an inch. What neither side seems to realize or remember for that matter is that the Commissioner can force a season.
Earlier this evening ahead of the MLB Draft festivities, Manfred made his declaration, and fans everywhere began to salivate. It’s unclear how long the season would last as time is not on the MLB’s side right now.
