Baseball will have some rules changes this year; a big one for September is the elimination of the 40-man roster. Rosters will be capped at 28 in September.

Another rule change will be that relievers having to face 3+ hitters in an appearance; it’ll reduce the often-tedious L-R-L pitching changes that stretch out the end of games.

In exchange for that, rosters all season increase from 25 to 26 players.

there's gonna be a strike......or at least a lawsuit


The average salary in Major League Baseball has dropped in consecutive years for the first time since the players' association started keeping records more than a half-century ago.

A good chance.....baseball being an outside sport....and pretty much contact free.....it may not be as affected by the current virus situation.

In the history of baseball, 112 home runs have been hit by catchers who were 40+ years old; Carlton Fisk hit 69 of them, everyone else combined to hit 43.

The Sox went from possibly playing in the weakest division...to the toughest with the possible Chinese Flu schedule.

Per Dillon...


this is all kind of fluid, but I’ll keep adding stuff as I find out.
13) Spring training will resume July 1; first games will be July 23 or 24.

12) Teams will play 60 regular season games in 66 days; ten teams will make the playoffs.

11) If the whole season is played, players will earn about 37% of their full-season salary.

10) Players will not get playoff shares this season; last year, all the Washington Nationals got

9) Transactions freeze ends this Friday at noon.

8) Trade deadline will be August 31.

7) Players will have to be added to the major league roster by September 15, in order to be eligible for the playoffs.

6) Each team will have a 60-player pool to choose their players from; they can bring bring three extra players on the road with them, but if they do bring three extra guys, one of them has to be a catcher.

5) Relief pitchers will have to fave a minimum of three batters, unless they finish a half-inning, then they can be replaced in between innings.

4) Rosters will wind up being 26 guys; they will start the season with 30-man rosters, then down to 28 guys after two weeks, then will settle at 26 guys after four weeks.

3) Teams will play the other four teams in their division ten times each, the five teams in the other league’s like division (AL/NL East, AL/NL Central, AL/NL West) 3-6 times each.

They’re trying to reduce travel as much as possible, which doesn’t help Seattle or the Florida teams much.

2) Not sure where the Blue Jays will play, but their AAA team is in Buffalo, so that looks like an option. Florida seems like a bad idea, with COVID-19 spiking there.

1) MLB may maintain a camp of sorts in Nashville, where unsigned players can work out, in case they’re needed. I’m wondering how many injuries there will be in August.
