Half a loaf is better than none; better to have baseball with no fans than no baseball at all.
Having no fans changes drastically affects basic elements like pressure and momentum, let alone removing the experience from its audience in an unprecedented way. Then there's the awarding of actual hardware and regarding records and stats as comparable with what came before.
Combine that with the devaluing of records and titles Manfred is perpetrating in the wake of Black Sox level activities associated with the 2017 WS piece of metal holder, and the ingredients are in place for the fast tracking to oblivion of a sport built on history and tradition, generational fan connection, and basic fair play.
(But at least Boras gets to reset the table for another free agency season.)
