Over the past couple of weeks speculations over when and how the 2020 baseball season will play out have run wild through social media. A new “proposed plan” just came out yesterday that splits the league into three divisions with the Dodgers being grouped with the most hated team in the league right now, the Astros.
That would be some interesting games to watch.
Whether this plan is real or not is up in the air just like every other speculation. All we know is that baseball seems very likely to return but in what format. The fans want to know. Dodgers’ super-utility man Kiké Hernandez wants to know too after getting tired of the speculation that has been spread by MLB reporters.
During an appearance on the Dodger Talk podcast, Kiké expressed how he felt about the situation.
“I feel like all these guys, every time they hear a little gossip here and there, they are going to write about it and print it out, so that just in case that was the plan, they were the first one to have it available.”
He then goes on to say that these reporters are spitting out so much information and plans that it makes it hard to know what is really going to happen moving forward. Kiké then takes another jab at the reporters and social media world.
“It’ll never change and that’s on everybody, you know everybody hearing social media. Big importance on believing everything you see out there.”
He was referring to how reporters are just taking any gossip they hear about plans for the season and just run with it, not learning from the mistakes of the failed Stripling-Pederson trade earlier this year. Kiké also mentioned that MLB hasn’t come to the players union with any official plan just yet so everything else is just speculation.
Kiké wants the season to happen as much as any of us fans do. This season is supposed to be his last with the Dodgers before hitting free agency and testing the open market. Although he’s proven to be a vital piece for the Dodgers, this season will give him another chance to showcase what he can do.
Let’s hope the season does return so we can see Kiké provide the team with his usual production or we can see him in a Banana costume once again.
