Per MLB.com, “Major League Baseball announced Monday that the start of the 2020 regular season will be pushed back even further following Sunday’s recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).” The move affects the Miami Marlins and the other 29 Major League teams.
After the news broke last week of all spring training activities being halted because of the coronavirus, there are new reports about the health risks involved, which has led to the decision by the league office.
As stated on MLB.com, Commissioner Rob Manfred conducted a conference call on Monday with all 30 Clubs, and in a statement released later in the afternoon, the league announced that Opening Day “will be pushed back in accordance with that guidance” from the CDC.
