Multiple things would have to go right for there to be a 2020 MLB season, of whatever length. Here is one such scenario.
The caveat
Scenario analysis is a decision-making tool that facilitates analyzing future events by considering alternative possible outcomes (sometimes called “alternative worlds”). Thus, scenario analysis, which is one of the main forms of projection, does not try to show one exact picture of the future. As such, the process is less about identifying the one “correct” scenario and more about looking at the future under different sets of assumptions. The scenario I put forward in this article is accordingly only one possible outcome – hopefully logical, and based on plausible assumptions – in a multitude of alternate worlds.
