Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced in a press release just minutes ago that the remainder of games for spring training will be canceled and the start of the regular season will be postponed for at least two weeks. This comes on the heels of an announcement late last night by California governor Gavin Newsom that would have likely prohibited the Colorado Rockies from opening their season in San Diego in the first place.
Most of the Cactus League’s slate of games, including the Colorado Rockies game with the Milwaukee Brewers, were already canceled on for Thursday due to heavy rain in the Phoenix, Arizona area.
