Rather than having played more than one month of the 2020 regular season by this point in the calendar, Major League Baseball continues to evaluate plans for how and when to schedule Opening Day.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has MLB in a holding pattern as state and federal health officials provide guidance and suggestions on how to proceed. What is clear is the 2020 season will begin without fans in attendance.
There also figures to be a second Spring Training that will span multiple weeks. Several Los Angeles Dodgers players have projected that to be at least three or four weeks.
