Leave it to baseball to make a global pandemic even worse. While sports leagues around the world are attempting to make the best of a really bad situation, MLB and the MLBPA are turning America’s Pastime into something of a sideshow.

Richard and Donnovan slide head-first into the conversation with long-time MLB reporter Shi Davidi. He explains exactly why the two sides can’t agree on much of anything, including a modified schedule and return-to-play plan, and discusses the potential impact of all this on free agency and what the game will look like when it does eventually return.
