Last Thursday, MLB announced that COVID-19 had forced them to suspend Spring Training and push the Opening Day – which had been scheduled for March 26 – back by at least two weeks.

As the number of cases of Coronavirus in the United States tick up like the stock market on a good day – something that’s been few and far between recently – it increasingly appears the start of the regular season will be pushed back by a lot more than two weeks.
