I have never been less excited for a Royals season in my life.
Whit deserves to be on a winner

the Royals have an almost 15% chance to make the playoffs given that vanilla schedule and the variance that a short season plays.
Going to let teams play with a 40 man the whole season?
Active rosters will be expanded to 30 to begin the season. Baseball was set to expand rosters to 26 going into this year, but with a truncated spring training, it makes sense to expand that even further, at least initially. After the 15th day of the season, rosters will be reduced to 28, then down to 26 after the 28th day. The limit on how many pitchers a team can carry that was supposed to go into effect this year will not be applied. Teams can add an extra player for a doubleheader only once the roster limit goes down to 26.
Teams can have three taxi squad players travel with them, one of whom has to be a catcher. Teams are encouraged to keep taxi squads working out at a facility within 100 miles of the MLB home facility.
Aren't playoffs up to 16 teams too? I mean, more teams will make the playoffs than not.
