When Major League Baseball cancelled remaining Spring Training games and delayed the start of the season, Opening Day was only pushed back two weeks. However, in effort to comply with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the start of the season was indefinitely delayed.
While the CDC recommended against mass gatherings of 50 or more people at least until May 10, the league has begun to explore scenarios with which to begin the 2020 regular season. Two possibilities were made public over recent weeks, with both involving Arizona.
One scenario had all 30 teams heading to The Grand Canyon State, where Spring Training facilities and Chase Field would be utilized.
