Summary
We're pleased to be joined by former Marlins President and host of Nothing Personal David Samson! First and foremost, how realistic is MLB's proposal for the 2020 season (4:30)? Who would benefit most in the shorter season? ... David published his own proposal on CBSsports.com. What were some of his rule changes (11:09)? He has an interesting take on extra innings. How would stats be accounted for? ... Does David expect sports back in July (18:36)? What do the economics look like? ... How would no minor-league season and the shorter draft affect the players long term (26:49)? Also, why are there so many minor-league teams? ... We also have some rapid-fire questions for David (34:30). What is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s outlook this season? What can we expect from the Houston Astros? What's the deal with Marlins man? How would veteran starting pitchers be affected by all this?... We also answer some of your questions! ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
