From the world of the pandemic, the good news is the NHL announced they are coming back.

A 24-team tournament will get underway, most likely in July, aiming toward handing out the Stanley Cup by early fall.

This could have been baseball.

However, don't fool yourself. There are disagreements over safety but this is really about money.

Somehow the NBA, the NHL and the NFL have all handled things mostly in a low-key way while MLB keeps running their collective traps.

If it's 1994 again, it will be bad. Very bad.

The 2020 baseball season is in grave danger right now.

The good news is negotiations continue this week.
