Major League Baseball has delivered a proposal for how it can return for a shortened, highly-structured 2020 regular season, and that has revealed the parallel tracks the owners and players are driving. There is the precaution of health and the motivation of wealth and revenue -- and where these two intersect is the start of a discussion between St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Ben Frederickson and baseball writer Derrick Goold. By nature of their position, the owners control serve and get to present the proposal to return to the players -- thus standing out in the narrative as the group that wants the game back and putting the players on defense to pick away at the proposal. The owners are a messaging machine. So how do the players regain a foothold in the conversation and the public perception. They have a good message, but the messengers are scattered, taking to social media and streaming services to broadcast their many, varied, valued, and fractured opinions. Is the game of baseball enough to bridge the game and overcome the business of baseball? The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
