If it takes a pandemic to move us towards an electronic strike zone, so be it.

Add Phillies and Nats to the list, since apparently half the NL East has to be involved in every FA signing / trade this offseason: https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2019/12/10/cubs-reportedly-hope-to-market-kris-bryant-to-free-agent-losers-nationals-and-phillies-have-already-checked-in/

+1. Nats overcame some unprecedented adversity in the postseason (5-0 in elimination games, all comebacks) but there are two sides to every narrative. Hinch and Roberts made some curious decisions in the winner take all games. PS - having your team win a world championship is fun
