The baseball world is at a standstill as the effects of the Coronavirus are being felt throughout the world. It was announced yesterday afternoon that the remainder of spring training will be halted while Opening Day will be postponed for at least two weeks. Just as things were ramping up for the Red Sox with the season on the horizon, we now have to wait.
For Boston, this could be a blessing and a curse as the regular season approaches. The delay will afford both Chris Sale and Collin McHugh some extra time to heal their respective injuries.
