The players’ frustration appears to have boiled over in an attempt to start the 2020 season, with Padres Tommy Pham tweeting no baseball in 2020.
No more than five days after MLB Commissioner discussed the league’s return-to-play status during the abbreviated Amateur Draft, he stated that “100 percent there will be a season.” A couple of days later, the MLBPA formally rejected the owners’ final proposal, indicating “tell us where and when,” alluding to the league’s likelihood of implementing a 50-ish game season.
Well, things continue to take a turn for the worse, as Manfred told ESPN on Monday that he’s “not confident” there will be a 2020 baseball season.
