MLB’s playoffs look a lot different in 2020 than in previous years. We interviewed officials at MLB to get the “why” and “how” behind the “what.” Why did so many teams make the playoffs this year? How were seedings determined? Why were the four “bubble” cities chosen? What will life be like for the players in the “bubbles”? Will fans be allowed at games? How do the umpires feel?
These questions and more are answered in our piece called “Here Comes Bubble Baseball.”
