Major League Baseball is reportedly not considering canceling its season after a coronavirus outbreak on the Miami Marlins has infected a third of the team, affected three other teams and postponed at least two games this week.
MLB owners met on a conference call Monday afternoon after the Marlins news broke, and according to Scott Miller of Bleacher Report, canceling or pausing the season wasn’t talked about. Instead, the league’s plan is to double down on its already-in-place safety protocols — including cracking down on high fives and spitting, while making masks mandatory in the clubhouse.
