This “season” is gonna be so wild. Almost any team can win the World Series with all the guys already opting out, the ridiculously short regular season and some untimely Covid positives. What’s the protocol for a positive test? 14 day quarantine? And the shorter “spring” training combined with fewer off days will undoubtedly lead to some injuries (hopefully just the quad/hammy/calf varieties rather than the ACL/UCL) with no minor league league games to pull guys from?

Could be a huge cluster, but will probably be really fun. But like the NBA championship, huge asterisk for the winner. Unless, of course, it’s the Braves.

Teams have a 40 player pool to pull players from and still start the season with 30.

I don’t think there’s a big asterisk for the NBA champ. They played almost a whole season. 70 games total or so instead of 82? Not much of a difference

ETA: unless the Lakers win
