Agreed.  Good clarification.

Looks good to me.  Just to be clear, though ... if the season gets cancelled before August 16, we revert as Buddha suggests, wiping out all trades/FAAB and starting 2021 with the teams we drafted/retained for 2020.

League:  Here is a simple proposal to deal with 2020 and reduce complications: if there are MLB games played on or after August 16, we will treat this year as a season and proceed with all of our usual rules (champion crowned,
 contracts are running, usual rules in 2021 on keepers and otherwise, except for position eligibility), even if MLB later suspends operations and plays no further games (including no playoffs).

 

Rationale:  Aug. 16 is the first day to begin bean trading. Once that begins, trading teams have to know the rules that apply.
