If the players wanted to be less impacted it seems they got it and that means they have to (In my mind) accept responsibility for some of it. I didn't follow all the MLB negations and for some of what I did I agreed with the players... But if they were dead set against a bubble....
To be fair, a bubble probably wasn’t practical. They would have needed 3 bubbles, East, central and west, and they were running out of options to accommodate them. Since they were trying to play a “season”, even 60 games, it‘s different than the tournaments/playoffs that MLS, NWSL, NHL and NBA are playing. Bigger rosters too, with 30 players. That put the onus on the players and they’re failing.
