Good morning, Athletics Nation!
The NBA and NHL have seen early success in their efforts to avoid the coronavirus pandemic by isolating themselves within a figurative bubble at a common location. MLB might try the same thing for its postseason in October, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN.
Passan goes on to say there would need to be bubbles in multiple cities for the first couple rounds of the playoffs, with 16 teams making the tournament this year, but that it could be cut down to one location for the LCS round and World Series. Three regions are mentioned as the most obvious suggestions to host postseason bubbles: Southern California, Chicago, and New York.
