MLB’s Opening Day has been pushed back multiple times, and currently, there is no set date for when the regular season will begin due to the coronavirus pandemic.
That being said, the league made an agreement with players that the season’s beginning would entirely depend on recommendations set forth by the Centers for Disease Control.
And while players have been open about wanting to play the entirety of a 162-game season, both sides hope to play at least 100. A shortened season could be imminent.
Dave Stewart, a former A’s pitcher and now an analyst at NBC Sports California, recently spoke to Brodie Brazil about what could happen if the season were to have less than what we’re used to.
