CBS Sports: Matt Snyder: In the latest episode of Game of Thrones House of Cards West Wing MLB vs. MBLPA, the players’ union had prepared to vote Sunday on whether or not to approve the league’s proposed 60 game season or allow Manfred to unilaterally impose a shortened form, but two things stood in their way. First, and honestly more importantly, players wanted to receive more information about the league’s COVID-19 protocols after spring training facilities in Florida were closed due to a surge in outbreaks. Additionally, Rob Manfred sent a letter to the union offering to remove the 2021 concessions — namely the expanded playoffs and universal DH — if the 2020 season was not concluded due to the virus, so that the union would not have given up two major concessions in exchange for something that never occurred.
