I would expect them to not trade anyone. Also, there's no reason they couldn't just pitch Gio out of the bullpen. And why trade Colome just because of Rodon? They need all the arns they can get.

Feel like they should change the name of the World Series this year. How about, "The Covid Cup!"

If this season starts, I bet it doesn't finish.

There's also a taxi squad too where I think these guys are more likely to land. Maybe not carry 1 but probably not both on active roster.

It's really cool for these kids (despite not being able to sign for a lot) that if they were undrafted college seniors, you can at least pick the team you want to go to. You'd have to think some of these kids have a handful or two of teams trying to sign them for the $20k amount.

Apparently the DH will be in the NL in 2020 AND 21. Nice.

Cool. You will be missed.

Doesn't seem to effect other sports' popularity. And which is the least popular? Hmmmm

So on board with expanded playoffs. It's better than half the league tanking. At least teams may believe they have a chance if they are on the bubble.

Well that is boring.

True. Definitely a lot of question marks in the rotation.

I was going to say, there's not a lot he can right now. Better to let the 2 sides come to an agreement rather than screwing over one side.

Agreed.

Good to have a solid amount of options. Especially at the possibility of doubleheaders (regardless if scheduled or not).

In a year with only 5 rounds, punting a few picks to get 2 of the best ranked is fine.

Would have been really fun to follow Andrew Vaughn in the minors this season.

That just sounds miserable, regardless if it was a video meeting, ha.

I just meant in general too. It is rumored that one team is planning (might?) do this.

You think this is a reason why some teams might "punt" their first round pick, offering enough to gain the pick -1 next year, not wanting to draft someone who you haven't seen for the past 3 months?

Different circumstance as stated above.

Agreed.

Not necessarily. Still have to draft someone and offer enough to get the pick back next year. So they'll target someone who wants slot or overslot it would seem.

You mean besides the NHL and NBA which are starting up again?

I'd rather have 50 games with the World Series winner having an asterisk identifying it was a short season (would want this if it was 50 games or 100 games) than no season at all.

A small sample size of a game where guys bash their heads in every game?
