Dodgers News: Mark Prior In Favor Of Shortened Spring Training Games

With the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic still very much ongoing, 2021 Spring Training will be a unique one for the Los Angeles Dodgers and teams across Major League Baseball.

One of the biggest changes will be that games can be shortened for the first week or two in order to better control the environment and due to limits on players that can be in uniform. Additionally, teams can choose to roll over innings throughout the game if their pitchers are throwing too much.

That will essentially create a Minor League environment in Cactus League games, which can actually be beneficial.
