Kevin discusses the agreement that was reached between the MLB and the MLBPA. The Owners gave quite a concession granting 2019 service time for 2020 if there is no season, and the players gave up receiving the entire contracts in the same scenario. This laid the groundwork for a deal to be worked out and is the best thing baseball could hope for at this point.<br /><br />Kevin then gives his predictions for the NL and AL Playoffs. It is going to be very similar to 2019 but he does discuss the possibility of expanding the field due to the current circumstances. A 7 team format for both Leagues could be a ton of fun. Would the Braves pick the Phillies? Would the Astros pick the Angels? <br /><br />Kevin ends the episode by discussing the Top 5 Cities he believes will be next in line to receive an MLB team during the next expansion. His top choice is Las Vegas, Nevada. The Golden Knights and soon the Raiders will be in town as well. Is it just a matter of time before an MLB team joins the

The White Sox could be the surprise on the American League this year, while the Royals and Tigers are rebuilding and looking to the future. <br /><br />Kevin then previews the AL West. The Houston Astros would have been the story of the summer but could now fly under the radar with the coronavirus causing havoc to the season. The Oakland A's look to win 97+ games again and unseat the Astros. The LA Angels made a HUGE move this summer a

Kevin gives the latest update on the Coronavirus and what the US is currently doing to help "Flatten the curve". It is just a matter of time until a national lockdown? Kevin then discusses the latest with the MLB and how they are currently working through the business side of a postponed season. Many difficult questions still remain unanswered as we move into late March.<br /><br />Next, Kevin breaks down and previews the NL East. The Atlanta Braves look to win their third straight division crown, but this year expectations are to advance further than the NLDS. The New York Mets. on paper, look as good as anyone in this division, can they finally put it together on the field and make a playoff push? Did the Phillies make enough moves during the offseason to finally finish over .500? The Washington Nationals look to repeat as World Champs with the rotation of Scherzer, Strasburg, and Corbin but without the help of Anthony Rendon. <br /><br />Kevin then previews the AL East. Th

Kevin gives an update on the Coronavirus and how the start of the season has been pushed back at least 8 weeks. He gives a breakdown of 4 potential scheduling options that the MLB is currently considering. As well as, how playoff expansion is more than likely due to the fact of a shortened season.

As of now, the MLB Draft will go on as scheduled however, it will be an especially challenging year for teams due to a scouting and travelling ban that has been implemented indefinitely. <br /><br />Kevin then gives a breakdown and preview of the National League West Division. The Arizona Diamondbacks were especially busy this offseason, will it be enough to finally make the playoffs? The Dodgers added Mookie Betts and David Price, can they finally get over the hump and win it all? Will the Rockies trade Nolan Arenado? Can the Padres get over .500 for the first time since 2010? He discusses this and much more!<br /><br />Next is a bre

evin talks about the Corona Virus update and how Major League Baseball has "postponed" the start of the 2020 regular season until at least April, but all insiders suggest that May/June is a more realistic starting goal. Kevin discusses this as well as some on the "on the field" implications that this virus may have once play does return this summer. <br /><br />Next, Kevin discusses the recent ESPN All-Access Spring Training games that were broadcasted only a few weeks ago. This needs to be implemented into the regular season as soon as possible. The insight into what a hitter is thinking during his at-bat is must-see TV, and I would pay to hear his thoughts. Kevin also gives a few more tweaks or changes he would implement to improve the sport and popularity of baseball as a whole.<br /><br />Kevin then gives his take on the question, What is worse? Steroid use or Sign Stealing? Kevin speaks about his time as a college baseball player and his experiences with both s
