Major League Baseball is currently in a holding pattern, with the 2020 season indefinitely delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
If and when play is able to resume down the road, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has already conceded teams won’t be able to play all 162 games this year.
With a goal of making up as many contests as possible, difficult decisions could be necessary, such as eliminating the 2020 All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium. Another option that surfaced is using the exhibition as an Opening Day of sorts.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez revealed he is not in favor of the 2020 season starting with the Midsummer Classic, as was the case in 1981 following a midseason players’ strike that wiped out nearly two months of play.
