with a collective bargaining agreement set to expire after this year, anything is possible. and as we saw last year, it was negotiated to start with a 30-man, then a 28-man, and then whittle down to a 26-man. mlb and the players union renegotiated in-season to stick with 28 players, including the postseason, and increased the taxi squad limit from three to five. it's a pandemic. nothing can be permanent. The 26 player roster with limit of 13 pitchers was agreed to before the start of spring training 2020. Those were not pandemic related changes. I dont think this is the case for 2021 tho, I saw that teams can carry 14 pitchers if they want.
