Bracketed like college basketball's March Madness, with seeding per the 2020 draft order, the 2019 league-champion Washington Nationals and Houston Astros would receive first-round byes in the 30-team field.
Each match-up would feature a best-of-seven series with the winners advancing and the opening-round losers dropping into the consolation bracket.
Fans (and nonfans) can fill out their brackets at the office then cheer for the Cinderella team.
And the Seattle Mariners end their playoff drought.
Just to inject some baseball on to the board today.
Assuming the 2020 season does resume at some point, what do you suppose happens with Rule 5 picks?
The expanded rosters make them easier to hold on to. And will teams just have to keep them for the 60-100 games in 2020 and that’s it? Or will their Rule 5 status roll over into 2021 until they have been rostered for a full 162 games (which I believe would be similar to how previous Rule 5 picks with DL/IL time were handled)?
The season will have a lot of double headers. There's a chance that rosters are increased to 28 players. I don't think the Rule V status should roll over since service time is now being prorated.

BOS at TBR, two years ago today. Full game.

Update on this: There is no automatic CBT reset if there’s no 2020 season. If there is no 2020 season and Sox spend > $210M in 2021, they’d be taxed as a team surpassing the CBT threshold for a third straight season.
I hate when someone abbreviates Tampa Bay as TBA or TBR, or even TPA, which is the Tampa airport. To see the league doing that on YouTube was moderately annoying
What abbreviation do you prefer?
I think I've seen TBR the most since it's Tampa Bay Rays. Kinda like NYY is New York Yankees.
This really screws the Red Sox over if there is no season this year.
So much for signing Mookie as a free agent!
I just finished watching Game 5 of the 2018 ALDS against the Yankees.
I had forgotten what a heart attack Kimbrel was in that game.
Think you mean Game 4.
But yeah, I remember watching that game in bed, while my roommate was sleeping, so I had to be quiet. But, when I heard the ball hit the bat of Sanchez, I thought it was over
Yes, Game 4.
I was sure the Sox were going to blow that game.
@MLB_PR
The league-wide initiative of financial support for Minor League players has been extended through May 31st.
That was bad enough -- Kimbrel had me drinking a growler a game (my brother-in-law is a brewer; still essential!). But the game that had me hyperventilating was Game 4 in the ALCS vs Houston: Kimbrel opened the 8th, Sox up 8-5. What could go wrong?
First batter -- Kemp rips one down the RF line -- luckily, Mookie makes a perfect throw to nail him at second (Bogie slaptag on the helmet). But then... Kimbrel hits Bregman, Springer doubles, Altuve grounds out to SS, run scores 8-6. It gets worse.
Houston 9th vs. Kimbrel: with one out, Reddick walks, Correa walks, McCann elevates... and just misses a walk-off, caught by Betts. Then Kemp walks to load 'em up. Bregman swings at the first pitch, a soft sinking liner -- BENI!!!!!!
Kimbrel got credit for the save...
