The players, according to SNY.tv’s Andy Martino, are expected to approve the safety protocols required to go ahead and start planning for a season that would start around July 24. They are expected to inform MLB today that and the fact that they can report to camp starting on July 1st.
The season, in the case that players approve the aforementioned things, as is expected, will last 60 games, instead of the regular 162-game calendar that has been the norm for decades. Such a dramatic reduction would mean that most stats would have less time to stabilize, which in turn means that more randomness enters the equation.
