Could Start of KBO be Litmus Test for Potential MLB Restart

There is a lot of optimism for MLB starting back up sometime this summer, but as of now we really have no idea when that might actually happen.

This virus situation still needs to calm down a good bit before MLB can make serious plans for state officials who will need to sign off on games being played in their states.

But with the Korean Baseball League (KBO) set to begin their 2020 season on May 5, they could lay the groundwork for MLB returning.

Obviously, the situation in Korea as it pertains to the virus is much less severe than we're facing in the states, so it makes sense for them to pick things back up.
