This will be a train wreck, no matter what rules are put in, and I do not mean to be a party pooper. Look, Charlie Blackmon just tested positive, a flat out NL star. Words highly infectious arent window dressing. Lots and lots of players will test positive. This year will be a mess.

so bizarre that if you are feeling really ruthless, you hope your player gets it this week - so they almost certainly recover fully before spring training resumes in earnest, and possibly with antibodies that remove a risk of him missing a part of the season.
touts will be urging "max bids" on players who already have recovered, for leagues that haven't drafted yet.
wait, are we not even halfway through 2020 yet?

Originally posted by Ken View Posthaha, fair - I actually have him in at least one league. I just think he's overhyped. Reminds me of Porcello with the one year wonder (although obviously a completely different K profile), hopefully he puts a few more seasons together like 2018 and sheds that.

Does anyone know what the covid protocols are going to be? Do you have to quarantine the player only or all contacts as well etc.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

you could allow players to be frozen for 2021 - but only if you don't freeze them for 2020, for example. lots of strategy there.
or, if this becomes difficult, you could compromise and allow, say, each owner to keep up to three players in 2021 at the same 2020 contract they were frozen at.
I like the 3 players idea. My league has been debating this and most seem to want to keep contracts at 2020 levels in 2021. I'm not so sure. I think if we put it to a vote, that's what would pass.

From Rotoworld:
Andy Slater of 640AM South Florida reports that Miami-Dade county mayor Carlos A. Gimenez will consider allowing fans at Marlins Park starting next month.
Slater notes that the Marlins must first submit a plan to the county for how fans can safely socially distance.I'm just here for the baseball.
