Five days ago, before the start of the MLB Draft, Rob Manfred was on ESPN talking to Sportscenter. In that interview, when asked about the state of negotiations for the 2020 season, the commissioner indicated that he was 100% certain certain there would be some sort of a 2020 season. Then, a few days later over the weekend, the players decided to stop negotiations and told the league to just implement whatever season they wanted per the March 26 agreement that gave the league that power. The players indicated that they would be ready whenever they were told to be.
