Baseball has metamorphosed; it had no choice. The season couldn’t be expected to continue as scheduled in the midst of a world plunged into chaos by the illness that has touched almost every corner of the globe. Once deciding to keep calm and carry on was no longer an option, it became crystal clear that the MLB had some tough choices to make regarding what shape the 2020 season would take if it is to exist at all.
One of the choices made by the powers that be was to expand MLB all rosters to 29 players to begin the 2020 season, as reported by Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
