Plenty of uncertainty remains one month past what was expected to be Opening Day of the 2020 Major League Baseball season, as the sport and world continue to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
While no one knows when the season will be able to begin, MLB is discussing a variety of different solutions and all parties involved seem committed to getting some sort of season in. The most likely scenario is teams splitting up between a few states, presumed to be Arizona and Florida and potentially Texas, to play games with fans in attendance.
That could also require players to be quarantined other than going to the field, forcing them to be away from their families for months at a time, which has drawn pushback from a few of the league’s biggest stars including Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw.
