I feel more confident about the Baseball season completing than I do the NBA season even though it is in a "bubble". Players will test positive, but it is so much easier for a baseball team to move forward without a player or 3 for a few weeks....they do it every season. Evan if a star player like Mike Trout tested positive, it will not destroy the season....in contrast if Lebron or Giannis test positive and are out for 3ish weeks in the playoffs, their team is likely finished.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but would like to hear some thoughts.
At pro rated pay, what is the harm of Giving Puig a 5M dollar contract and paying him 2M to be on the expanded roster.
Arm/Pop/Defense and Speed - Low cost, he liked it here and played well.
Maybe even get creative and offer a 2nd year team option for 7Mill to entice him. I dunno.
I dont trust our OF, especially Aquino, Winker and Sogo (Unknown) - I would even entertain an offer to keep a postseason competitor like the Braves from getting hime (Replace Markakis)

Reds will play exhibition games against the Tigers on the Tuesday and Wednesday before opening day.
No word if those will be televised, but I hope so.
CBS says Reds and Cardinals amongst the schedule winners.
