Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly explains why he almost decided to sit out the 2020 season.
After commissioner Rob Manfred implemented a 60-game schedule for the 2020 season and the players signed off on health and safety protocols, the Los Angeles Dodgers will report to Spring Training 2.0 on July 1.
However, one player wasn’t so sure he would be playing this season.
Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly and his wife Ashley recently added twins to their family, a situation that caused Kelly to think about whether it was worth taking on the risk of playing baseball amid a global pandemic.
