How bout this no baseball, stop you whining there will be no baseball this year
-
Ridiculous idea Grapefruit & Cactus leagues.
-
Just play into December, who cares. Baseball with Snow ❄️
-
How about make a rule that allows only 10000 fans in the ballparks
-
Fans have been out of work they will have no money to go to games unless you gonna change the prices to like 1960s prices stupid sports only thinking about their players pocketbooks and not the fans
-
Oh wow espn reporting on sports and not gossip wowww
-
WHY is it a bad idea??? Can't just say it's a bad idea and then not say why! I SAY DO IT. People need SOMETHING to do before we all go insane locked away like animals in our own houses.
-
This is a phenomenal idea. KIRK needs to get lost man.
-
This is much better than not having baseball. Tf are this idiots talking about
-
Espn has an invested interest in making us feeling like there will be sports some time soon. By doing so they give relevance to all the silly stories they report on. Even if things start to go back normal in a few months, sports will be the last thing to come back.
-
Thanks alot China for ending dog eating. What a progressive country.
-
I dont think any MLB games will be played in 2020
-
I am going to be so mad if this happens I’m a Cardinals fan and we have like one of the hardest divisions
-
Sheer desperation. MLB needs to come to their collective senses, if that is possible, and completely cancel the 2020 season.
One idea that has come out of this, which definitely has merit, is eliminating the separate leagues, and realigning MLB based on regional and geographical rivalries. That would create a Western Conference/Eastern Conference scenario, which is long overdue.
-
Ignore the division alignment. Nightengale made it up. All we know is MLB has discussed Grapefruit/Cactus League.
-
This idea is crazy. All the dead traditionalists are turning over in their graves.
But it still beats having no baseball, by far! -
Play in Canada , Mexico or cancel the 2020 MLB Season!
-
No homerun derby in extra inngs
-
Cant wait to see Astros get all the hate and see Gerrit Cole in Yankees uniform
-
There will be no sports this year for sure. Possibly none or late for sports like MLB in 2021. I’d take it to Vegas
-
Whatever gets Betts on the feild in a dodger uni I am all for
-
F*** Major league Baseball and f*** commissioner Manfred…the Astros players cheated Major league Baseball let him get away with it un- punished I'm done with baseball who cares !
-
Could care less if there are fans in the stands. Just want to watch baseball.
-
My guess being, the fans would rather cancel the season. The owners would rather put together something to have a shorten season, naturally to make a few bucks off a washed out season. I’m betting, there will be a shorten season. However, you’re gonna find crazy results that come out of it.
-
it will be seesntially an exhibition season but im for this!
-
What's the big deal about merging the AL and NL this year? It's actually a really good idea. Give both leagues a DH since nobody wants to watch a pitcher attempt to hit anyway.
Give me an 100 game regular season where the top 2 teams in every division make the playoffs and I'll be happy.
-
Crazy ideas huh. Have single elimination tourney. best of 5. seed them 1-30 from last year standings. Final will be best of 7
-
The astros have officially been bailed out.
-
Just think if this was 1977 it would be the Royals vs Yankees in the World Series
-
Play tournament with every team…2 games each…most runs advances…every team gets a piece of the pie financially…dumb idea but it would be exciting
-
There is no sports gonna be played anytime soon.
-
Why not just play less games?
-
This can finally be the catalyst to shorten the obnoxiously long season to something more manageable.
-
I actually like the proposed idea.
And Kurkjian needs to get a clue, the outbreak is just starting in Japan
-
If it has to wait until august pull the plug and not play at all. This year is already so terrible with everything going on so might as well keep adding to it. Don’t ruin 2021 season. Try and make next year the best of all of lives.
-
They are all bad ideas? Isn’t something better than nothing?
-
Start in august, play 3 months and have w.s in dome in November somewhere
-
Frankly I’d rather MLB just cancel this whole thing and start on better footing 2021. I mean let’s be real. Just as the NBA, NHL should cancel their seasons also. And I’m not even sure about the NFL season going on. Let’s just hope and pray we see considerably better progress on dealing with this virus going into 2021. That’s the only way we can have what you can call “normal” sporting events.

Is tradition the only reason why there are, still, separate leagues?
