I like to open these mailbags with a friendly greeting, but I should acknowledge the obviously serious news: MLB canceled spring training and delayed the start of the regular season by two weeks. This decision came in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
After much discussion with SB Nation leadership and my staff, I decided it’s best to maintain business as usual—as best we can—during this period. The answers in this week’s mailbag reflect this attitude.
I expect to run another mailbag next week, so long as you still have questions. You can send them in our weekly call or by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
