Red Sox News: MLB delays 2020 regular season by at least two weeks

It could be a while before we see the Boston Red Sox take the field again. Major League Baseball announced on Thursday that they have decided to suspend the remaining spring training schedule and the start of the regular season will be delayed by at least two weeks due to the nationwide emergency created by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

A conference call was held this afternoon with all 30 clubs. It was agreed that MLB would follow the lead of the country’s other major professional sports leagues by suspending games.

The NBA postponed Wednesday night’s game between the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder moments before tip-off.
