Buster Olney of ESPN reported that there’s an “excellent” chance that some players, including some Colorado Rockies, may skip a shortened, 50-game season.

In an interview on Thursday with KNBR in San Francisco (the Giants’ flagship radio station), Buster Olney of ESPN reported that there’s an “excellent” chance that some players would skip out on 50-game shortened season in 2020, particularly if they have pre-existing conditions or if they are supposed to be a free agent after the 2020 season, both of which the Colorado Rockies have on their roster.
