Good morning, Athletics Nation!
The last couple months have been a tough time for baseball, just as they have been for everyone else in the country/world. We’ve already lost around 50 games from the normal MLB schedule, with no firm plan for when they’ll start again. The league and players are all losing a ton of money in the meantime. The best plans for moving forward are still bad.
