257. Should Players Opt-Out of the 2020 Baseball Season? A debate with Marcus Hayes (Philly Inquirer)

This week’s episode stems from a column that longtime columnist Marcus Hayes wrote in the Philadelphia Daily News/Inquirer. That article is about Zack Wheeler and Mike Trout considering opting out of the shortened 60-game MLB season.

Hayes contends that the players should be able to play and protect themselves. Seth adamantly disagreed, suggesting that the irresponsibility of other players will make it unsafe and any player who wants to opt-out, should.

This is a lively but very friendly debate.
