JUPITER, Fla. — Major League Baseball owners and executives plan a Thursday afternoon announcement on how the leagues will respond to growing concern about the coronavirus, which has led to the cancellation or postponement of pro sports around the globe.
The Cardinals were expecting MLB to suspend spring training, and an announcement was planned by the commissioner's office Thursday afternoon. Reports have swirled, from ESPN and elsewhere, that MLB will stop spring training and delay the start of the regular season.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals and Marlins continue to play in front of a packed house at Roger Dean Stadium.
