The details of this situation can be found at Yahoo Sports. I feel that it is fair since the players will receive their full prorated salary for the 60 games to be played. But the devil is in the details. I have several concerns about whether this will actually transpire.
- Will the players balk since they have rejected all proposals by MLB?
- Is a 3-week "summer training" session enough to get the pitchers ready?
- What is the schedule for this abbreviated season? Will games be scheduled only between teams in the same geographic area? Will the previously announced 2020 schedule take place starting on July 24?
- What happens if players test positive for the virus? Would the entire team have to be quarantined? If so, the season would be ruined. I think the worst thing that could happen is that play would have to stop out of safety concerns.
I think the universal DH would help the Mets since Yoenes Cespedes would not have to play the outfield. Many players throughout MLB have been given several months to recover from injuries that would have prevented them from playing in April.
We shall see.
