If you haven’t been keeping up with baseball recently—and who can blame you, really—the TL;DR version of what’s happening is this: yes, there will be a season of 60 games, and teams are allowed to have two groups of players, a 30-player roster and a 30-player taxi squad as a pool to draw from for players who are injured or test positive for the virus.
Something to note: after the first two weeks of the season, rosters will go from 30 to 28 for...reasons, I guess. Because pitchers magically won’t get hurt anymore after two weeks? Sure. That might impact how teams handle players like Mitch Haniger, who won’t be ready to begin the season, from all we’ve heard, but who the Mariners probably don’t want to place on the 45-day IL, which would essentially cost him the entire season.
