Major League Baseball is on the brink of “disaster.”
Last Thursday MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said without hesitation: “We’re going to play baseball in 2020, 100 percent.”
On Monday, Manfred was singing a different tune. He told ESPN: “I’m not confident (we can play). I think there’s real risk … It’s just a disaster for our game.”
What happened? Social media exploded starting with this MLB Players Association tweet:
