A few details of MLB season proposal

A truncated season of 80 or so games beginning in early July. Teams would only face division rivals and the same geographic division in the other league to keep games regional.
Teams would open the season in as many home parks as possible. That will cut down on travel and allow players and personnel to easily isolate at home with their families.
An expanded postseason format would send seven teams to the playoffs per league. The plan would be similar to an idea floated back during the offseason.

Sox suck this year, so I'm all for it.

Cancel minor league. Put major league teams in minor league parks in smaller cities and towns.
I vote that the NL takes over the Sally League.

An 80 games season would just truly be illegitimate

They should extend the season a little bit and add more games IMO. End it before Thanksgiving or something. Not ideal but I’d rather chance cold as shite postseason baseball in Minnesota than play 80 games. It’s definitely still better than nothing though no matter what

It just wouldn’t feel right not having any type of baseball season along with a Dodger post season choke.

Yeah but you got Seattle in a Dem bitch governed state and Oakland/LAA in a Dem bitch governed state. They all forfeit and it's between AStros and Rangers. We got this!

No, illegitimate would be Hideo Nomo getting Rookie of the Year over Chipper Jones.

Well, I'd rather some sports with it being weird than no sports.
There seems to be huge risk that a lot of players will say frick you and sit out though and the chance that the MLBPA says frick you as well though. So, we shall see.
