Good morning Birdland,
Just like their MLB peers, the Triple-A season was set to start in early April. That has now been punted to May, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The report explains that the reason for the delay is that teams will be setting up alternate training sites, similar to what was done last summer.
It is unclear if these sites will be an entirely separate entity from Triple-A, or if they will continue operating past the start of the minor league seasons.
As it was a season ago, the goal of having these sites would seemingly be to give each major league team a pool of potential players that are physically ready to play at the major league level while limiting their exposure to others, and therefore lowering the risk of virus contraction.
