The arc of a season — from spring training through the trade deadline, playoff races and the postseason — provides the main structure, alongside signings, trades, injuries, roster moves and contract negotiations. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Phoenix are home to franchises whose news regularly sets the terms of national coverage given the size of their markets and fan bases. The trade deadline compresses a high volume of transaction news into a short window and generates some of the most concentrated coverage of any moment in the baseball calendar. Collective bargaining and its effect on the competitive and financial structure of the sport has become a recurring thread that surfaces well between on-field seasons.
