In a move many fans feared might happen, today Major League Baseball announced that Spring Training has been halted, and that the start of the season has been moved back at least two weeks to April 8th while worries about the coronavirus abound.
MLB follows suit with the other major sporting programs who have recently also suspended their seasons. Last night, after a player for the Utah Jazz tested positive for the virus, the NBA suspended the rest of their season. Today, the NHL and MLS also halted their seasons already in progress. The NCAA has also canceled all conference tournaments and March Madness.
