We are now just nine days from 2021. (Thank heavens. 2020 has been... bad.)
And we still do not know whether Major League Baseball will have a “normal” 162-game season next year. Players say they want one. Managers have been told to prepare for one. We were told last week that there might be a timeline for 2021 released sometime in January.
While there are no further definitive answers, this article by Jayson Stark in The Athletic does shed some light on what people inside the game think about playing 162 games in 2021.
