Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred remains confident, telling ESPN's Karl Ravech that the 2020 season can continue despite positive coronavirus tests that have led to the postponement of 17 games in 10 days.
"We are playing," Manfred told Ravech on Saturday. "The players need to be better, but I am not a quitter in general and there is no reason to quit now. We have had to be fluid, but it is manageable."
Manfred's comments follow the postponement of Saturday's St. Louis Cardinals-Milwaukee Brewers game, according to ESPN and multiple reports.
