For the 2020 season, if there is an early cancellation of the season (the real life regular season doesn’t finish), then these following rules will apply:
1) There will be no declared champion for the season. A champion will only be crowned if there is a complete Major League regular season. In other words, a champion will only be crowned if the playoffs finish in here.
2) Scale Players will advance so long as they meet these updated thresholds for hitters (150 PA) and pitchers (15 IP). Even if the season cancels early, players will advance so long as they hit these marks. FA contracts will advance regardless, as usual.
3) The draft order will be based on the standings for the final day of the season, even if cancelled early. The draft order will be based on the same format as the last few years. Given that this year only 8 teams will be assigned playoff spots, the 9th overall team will own the 1st overall pick.
4) There will be comp picks for this offseason. But in this case, they will be based on 2019 stats only. This will allow us to use a full season of stats to determine comp picks.
