It’s been 99 days without baseball and the clock is just ticking away on any chance of an MLB season. A few weeks ago a friend asked me how likely I thought it was that baseball would be played in 2020, I told him I gave it about a 70 percent chance.
I no longer believe that’s true. I don’t even think there is a 50 percent chance. Probably something closer to 30 percent, but honestly it’s likely even less than that.
For most of the last two weeks fans have been laser-focused on the negotiations between MLB and the MLBPA to see if they could come to terms on salaries, the number of games, the DH, and the number of teams in the postseason.
