New York Mets: MLB to test up to 10,000 employees for coronavirus antibodies

Despite the current, ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Major League Baseball (MLB) and the players’ association are working around the clock to increase the possibilities of playing ball again this year. Losing the 2020 season would be catastrophic from a financial standpoint, but so far, it is very difficult to imagine professional sports being played in the near future. That means the New York Mets and the New York Yankees, two clubs that play in America’s most affected city when it comes to coronavirus cases and deaths, probably won’t be playing at home anytime soon.

Mayor Bill de Blasio told CNN that he wasn’t confident that New York would open up large gatherings in June, July, or even August, which would leave September as the most likely date to consider games with fans in the stands, at least in New York city.
