We’re living in unprecedented times. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we’ve already seen spring training cut short and Opening Day delayed across Major League Baseball. Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, sits empty on the north side of the city as fans everywhere anxiously wonder whether or not there will be any baseball in 2020.
According to multiple reports, including one from The Athletic (subscription required), the league is keeping all its options open – including starting the season from spring training facilities, with no fans. The plan would be to quarantine teams and then televise the games for fans to see.
