Major League Baseball, like the rest of the world, is preparing itself for the threat of the coronavirus. As the illness continues to spread, fear heightens and precautious mount, the league has created a task force to deal with potential issues.
As of right now, MLB isn’t canceling or postponing any games, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, but it is issuing a series of recommendations to protect players. Baseball games present an inherent risk for spreading disease. Particularly in spring training when fans often visit from different states and different parts of the world.
