Will there be a season poll

[madducks]

And what if there is no vaccine within the next year? Are players also going to sit out the 2021 season? And 2022 and......

lots of stars miss lots of games every season.

the typical league rule is formally known as "tough titties."

As for 2022, the CBA expires after 2021. Pandemic or not, the 2022 season was always going to be in question.

So, it is looking like the majority who thought there would be no season will be wrong as will those hoping for 75 games plus.

how was "no baseball season" ever given a single vote here, given the agreement reached in March?

the players are going to forfeit all that money?

I'll believe it when I see it.

I voted for over 75 games. I'm dumbfounded that won't end up being the case. More product is better long term for baseball all the way around.

Well, I was one of the 50 or so game voters, but I could certainly understand the cynicism of actually having a season given how the owners were progressing.

I'm no fan of the owners, but the only way there is no season is if the players refuse to play.

Seriously, I mean they could play for free if they really cared about the game

Same here. I wonder if there is still a chance for neutral warm-weather sites being used for the post-season. This would allow the regular season to go later and also decrease the need for post-season travel/off days. Of course, then playoff teams would need to keep using five-man rotations. But, most playoff teams have deep rotations. So, it probably wouldn't be a problem for most of them.

Allow me to help:

MLBPA agreeing in March to sign a deal guaranteeing the players $170 million kind of takes the starch out of "they could play for free if they really cared about the game"

maybe this post was written in February, though - it could have worked as sarcasm back then (I guess)

Can i double down now on the no season in 2020 choice?
