Major League Baseball’s 2020 season, it turns out, could hinge on just how many owners would rather play baseball than skip the season entirely.
At least six owners, according to SNY’s Andy Martino, would rather just cancel baseball in 2020 than play. While The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich quoted an agent who said there are at least eight owners that would prefer not to play. And the difference in that number could be key.
As backward as it seems: Baseball team owners not wanting a baseball season could actually sink MLB in 2020.
