Oh, mayor. The Chicago Cubs–and the Chicago White Sox, for that matter–listen with skepticism when listening to Lori Lightfoot. That’s because there isn’t a clearcut answer to when baseball will return–if ever. I know. I said it.
The White Sox and the Cubs vice president of communications Scott Reifert and Julian Green, respectively, said there are many loopholes to go through. MLB, the safety of players, input from the authorities and more.
“As the Governor stated, we are looking to the MLB for guidance as to when the season can resume, which will likely include input from health experts that creates the safest environment for players and their families, employees and fans,” Green said in a statement.
