Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred in a Captain Obvious moment stated that the opening day for major league baseball will not take place as scheduled. How long a delay is just conjecture and normal life is now dependent upon COVID-19. Spring training is gone – at least temporarily – as camps have shut down.
“We are not going to start on April 9,” Rob Manfred tells us as he leaves conference call. Says he’s not going to speculate, but he says owners are still hopeful to play a full schedule, unsure how. Limiting informal workouts, not locking camps.
