    Yes, there will be an 75+ game season
    0%
    8
    Yes, but only a 50 or so game season
    0%
    10
    No, there will be no 2020 season
    0%

    Depressing results so far, but so many views and so few votes!

      I blame Obama.

        I do too, for not getting the 22nd Amendment repealed, running for a 3rd term, and saving us from the last three years.

            I'm pretty confident there will be a season poll.

              But do you think there will be a season? You might have more of an idea than anyone else here. Then again, you might not be able to share it, too.

                Manfred can implement a season of any length, so while the players might be extremely upset if there's a shorter version, there will almost certainly be a season of some length.

                  Probably, but we are already past the point of getting baseball by the 4th of July, which is a tremendous wasted opportunity. A 50 games season would be such a crap shoot. I think it would alienate a lot of fans. It would be better than no season, but still will be much worse than it could have been.

                  My keeper league won't run at 50 games this year. Maybe we do a redraft. That would be a bummer.

                    my auction owners did a "parallel universe" redraft over the entire month of April. 25-man rosters, no transactions, no cash.

                    if we decide not to have our auction league this year on a 50-game schedule, we already have something in place for amusement purposes only.

                      If the owners want a 50-game season, then July 4 was never a real possibility. A 50-game season starting on July 4th would have ended in early September.

                      A 50-game season would need to start by August 1st to complete when owners want it to end.

                        Well, they certainly wouldn't have to worry about fitting in an expanded playoff in that situation.

                          Here's a thought - let's say the owners and players come to some sort of agreement on a 50 - 70 game season. But about 6 major, big-name players decide to not play due to safety reasons; say, Trout, Scherzer, Snell, Kershaw, Yelich, and JD Martinez. How will an auction league respond if they've had their auction? If they haven't had their auction?

                            Great question. I have no idea. RJEL didn't want to reschedule and I guess we'll soon face reality.

                            I also wouldn't say "safety" reasons but likely it just wouldn't be worth it for many of them where service time isn't an issue.

                              No need to overthink it. Just say, "That's a tough break. Hope you have better luck next year."
