Sad to say, I agree.
MLB may face a near-existential crisis. Are a lot of fans realizing they don't miss it too much? No one knows, it's difficult to predict.
One optimistic scenario is fans FLOCKING back to stadiums and ballparks and theaters and releasing all the pent-up energy.
One pessimistic scenario is a re-organized stay-at-home/social distancing society.
MLB is a game of habit, as they say. The habit may have been broken for fans who aren't diehards.

Maybe they don't have to buy 100% of the team.
The timing for raising money isn't good?
Interest rates are 0.00% I think.

Reality sets in.
"But there are a million ways the Jenga stack could fall: What if the person delivering groceries to the biodome walks by someone who coughs on the lettuce and a week later, a player tests positive? Is there an option other than shutting down the whole operation for 14 days?
'No,' says Bergstrom.
And that’s really the end of the conversation. Even if we can start this, we almost certainly can’t finish it. Just look at South Korea and Japan, which both believed they had the outbreak under control and have since pushed back the start dates of their professional baseball seasons. In response to ESPN's reporting on the MLB biodome scenario this week, former Medicare and Medicaid head Andy Slavitt tweeted, 'I’m as big a sports fan as anybody, but this is reckless. Leagues need to follow the science & do the right thing.' "
Will MLB recover from a skipped season?

My first thought is Yelich.
Soto I would eliminate for obvious reasons ... we don't know how many strikeouts he avoided because of help from his teammates in the dugout banging on a trash can.
Torres I'm hoping is the real deal, and I think he is, but he fattened his stats bigtime against the Orioles.
Alonso I don't know what to say ... I don't think it's anti-Mets bias ... I just think it's way too early to project him as a decade-long superstar ... and I don't know what MLB is going to do about the super-balls. I just have a hunch that the ball gets deadened and he hits 27 HRs instead of 50.
