The long-awaited announcement of the cancellation of the 2020 Minor League Baseball season is near, according to a report.
Citing sources, Baseball America said Minor League Baseball is expected to officially announce that the season has been shelved because the MLB "has failed to provide players." The website said an official announcement was expected to be made on Tuesday.
The announcement would mean the end of the Springfield Cardinals season before it ever began. No announcement has been made by the team.
The Athletic reported Monday night that the cancellation of the Minor League season was the expectation.
