One day after baseball appeared to be on the brink, the two leaders reportedly had a productive meeting in Arizona. Rob Manfred and Tony Clark met today in Arizona, and it appears that they were able to find common ground.

Jayson Stark's piece in The Athletic about, among other things, the 2020 offseason is also discussed. Could Mookie Betts and George Springer really be signed to one-year deals this Winter? If so, the Giants could have a golden opportunity to load up on talent and return to contention sooner than anticipated.
