Major League Baseball Season Likely Suspended
According to ESPN's Jeff Passon, the start of the Major League Baseball season will be delayed, while all operations in Spring Training have been suspended due to the outbreak of Coronavirus.
This was a decision that was expected after the NBA suspended the rest of its season and the NCAA tournament has been all but canceled due to the outbreak of the disease.
Sports leagues are taking extra precaution with this virus as different states have declared states of emergencies. In the last couple of days Ohio, Washington and California have put halts to public events where more than an 100 people attend.
It is anyone's guess how long the MLB season will be delayed, but if the recent trend is any indication, it could be 30 days or more. That means Opening Day March 26, and a good chunk of April will be scrapped from the schedule. How teams will handle this as far as redeeming tickets that have been purchased is to be announced.
Regardless get used to a world without any sports (except the XFL) for quiet a while.
