Despite Postponement, Rumors State the MLB Still Envisions 162 Games Played In 2020

Error 0:

According to several rumors, the MLB is still planning on playing a full 162 game schedule in 2020 despite the Opening Day postponement due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Along with other sports, the MLB suspended their season on Thursday. Right now, the league is planning to open the season in early to mid-April, but that may already be in jeopardy.

I think that at this point, the most realistic start date probably isn’t until around May 1st. If this virus clears out in a few weeks, players will still need a bit of time to get game ready.
