Charlotte, Sometime
Jeff Siner/Charlotte Observer/Tribune News Service via Getty ImagesBad news for the minor leagues in general, Triple-A specifically, and the Charlotte Knights most locally: Per an ESPN report, the season will be delayed at least one month.
That means a return to the “alternate sites” concept that was employed during last summer’s 60-game MLB season. The arrangement was termed as “long-expected” in Jeff Passan’s story, so even though the minor league schedule was announced two weeks ago, there was considerable doubt that a season would get off the ground quickly.
Triple-A will now start its season at or around the same time as the lower minors — likely on Monday, May 4.
