While we’re unlikely to see any large gatherings in the city anytime soon, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday that she can envision baseball returning this summer. The environment would have to be carefully controlled and it would need to fit within MLB’s comprehensive plan to restart, of course, but it’s possible. With one big caveat.
“We’re obviously a ways away from [playing games at Wrigley and Guaranteed Rate Fields] because we haven’t seen the level of cases decline on a consistent basis. We’re still seeing them rise,” Lightfoot told media members.
