If ever there was a perfect time to use SureJan.gif, it would be as a response to Rob Manfred’s assertion that MLB owners are still hopeful that a full season can be played once baseball resumes. Following a conference call with owners and league execs Monday afternoon, which he attended from the Cardinals’ facility in Jupiter, FL, the commissioner clarified that spring training facilities would not be officially closed as had been previously believed.
Manfred said they are merely limiting informal workouts, though that was already made clear by a league memo that came out over the weekend.
