The National Basketball Association (NBA) has been implementing a “bubble” layout to protect their players from potential exposition to COVID-19, at least in theory. And while some players have spoken up saying the arrangement can be mentally exhausting (some say they can’t escape basketball 24/7) it seems like MLB is considering adopting it for two key instances of the 2020 season.
According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, MLB is actually thinking about implementing that measure for the playoffs and the World Series. That would require further negotiations with the players’ association, almost surely.
