This is an MLB-specific and an MLB-created problem.

Every other league that has actually started back up has been fine.

The NFL is heading down the MLB path though.

Sports are doable but they need to be played in a bubble like the MLS is doing

Im super pro-player and hate the owners/Manfred, but baseball offered a bubble (in Arizona of all places though) and the players said no.

I think if sports leagues offer a bubble they should pay the players more for having to be in-prisoned pretty much. MLS/NBA is just a quick thing. NFL/MLB is a longer season

Playing outdoors in 115 degree heat in the worst COVID state in the country. And the bubble wouldnt be nearly as insulated as what the NBA has in Orlando.

The players also didn't want to be away from their families for 5 months.

The NBA and NHL plans are months-long as well.

MLB's plan is slightly longer, but I wouldn't be calling these other ones "quick".

Yeah but being that both those leagues are essentially at their playoffs, teams will be dropping out constantly and only a few teams will be in the entire time. And considering being there the whole time means your team is a legitimate contender for the championship, I'm sure those players are much more willing to sacrifice time with their families to be there as opposed to someone who has to commit to months in the bubble and their team could end up dead last. The MLB would need ALL teams bubbled for the entirety of a season whereas the other leagues only had to invite contenders and within a week or so both the NBA and NHL will already be dropping 8 teams each and then the numbers will continue to decrease as the playoff rounds continue.

Don't get me wrong the MLB and the MLBPA are all idiots for how this has been handled but it IS a different situation compared to NHL and NBA

Baseball this year is a week in July, August, and September. Thats slightly more than 2 months. Playoffs take 1 month so thats slightly more than 3 months for the WS teams.

The bubble plan was introduced when they had far more time. The current plan was scrounged together at the last second.

Everyone keeps saying mlb should've had a bubble like nba. Look at the size of each roster for an MLB team and nba team. It's not feasible. Mlb should've never come back imo
