If there’s going to be an MLB season in 2020, it’ll be a short one. The latest proposal from MLB would see teams playing about 80 games. That presents an interesting dilemma for the New York Mets.
The team has played better in the second half in six of the last seven seasons and this year they won’t have time to heat up. They’ll get a couple of weeks of spring training and right into a season where every game will be crucial.
That hasn’t worked out so well in the past. The New York Mets either missed the playoffs entirely or would have missed them in each of the three shortened seasons they’ve played before this one.
