Owners and players once again debating whether they will play 162 games

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but it looks like the MLB players want there to be more 2021 baseball games than the owners do.

One owner reportedly said “I think there will be significant pressure for players to get the vaccine first before they go to spring training, and if that has to be moved back to April and play 130 games, so be it.” which is a valid concern, but when have we seen this lack of passion about baseball being played before?

The players and managers, however, say they are planning on a full 162-game season.
