This is an open letter to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred about the plan to start a 2020 MLB season.
Dear Commissioner Rob Manfred,
Stop. Take a step back and look at the bigger picture of baseball. Think about the long term future and health of this sport. That is, after all, your job.
If you look at the bigger picture, you will realize that all this posturing and nasty negotiating tactics is hurting your sport and hurting your fan base, not just in the short term, but in the long term as well.
