Despite reports this week about the possibility of baseball in May, we don't know if there will be any games in 2020. We just don't. What we do know is that if there is a 2020 season, it won't be of the length we're used.
A shorter season may nudge MLB to be more open-minded to changes surrounding the conventions of the game we're used to, from roster size to playoff format to ... innings in a game. The length of season will dictate just how experimental the league is willing to be, but some change feels inevitable.
