Just had a thought while replying to a PM.

Do you think the data ownership collected about missed games during the 2020 season is impacting their strategy?

I saw that quote on r/baseball and started to get a positive vibe...then I saw it was Heyman.

He's been the head guy to throw positive spin on things.

Not sure what you mean.   What data did they collect?

I read that as do they believe they can still make money in a shortened season based off of what happened in 60 games?

Maybe you lose in 60 games but what about 120?  Is it worth it to get what you want while also making a profit in 2022?

I’m guessing this goes into tomorrow.

31 days in March.  They say they need 4 weeks of ST.  One more day isn’t going to matter if they think they can hammer it out.

Ugh. Those postseason formats make me sick. There’s already too many teams in the playoffs. We don’t need to further devalue the regular season.

Basically what SG said.

They now have current data about how much impact a short season has on revenue.   I'm just speculating that the data they collected may have influenced their strategy.
