My thoughts are 50 or so MLB season

I would have no interest in playing this year. As a player you can only lose. If you’re a free agent next year you can’t make any money this season. Your stats won’t matter and will only be used against you if they’re referenced at all. Imagine getting hurt in your walk year to play 60 games? Do you really want to go into arbitration next year on stats over 60 games? Do you really want to see a starter get hurt and miss 2021 so they could make 4 starts in 2020?

I think a champion in a sprint is as legit as a champion in a marathon. I actually think a short season as a one-time thing might be pretty cool.

One of the greatest and worst things about baseball is the talking about the game. Like it or not, the discussions that can come from this will be endless, which would fuel more baseball interest. What if Verlander wins 11 games. x3, and he was on pace to outperform McLain. Or if a hitter is hitting .400. A slugger gets hot and hits 22 dingers.

We would all be choosing sides on the arguments, but the DEBATE is what makes baseball interesting.

I agree completely. What if the fans decide that a 60-game season is perfect?
