As concerns over the coronavirus outbreak grow, MLB has established an internal task force to deal with potential issues this season, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Passan reports MLB issued a memo to hundreds of baseball officials Tuesday morning offering suggestions for teams, including players not taking balls and pens directly from fans for autographs. The memo also reportedly suggests players don't shake hands with fans, and that teams should communicate with a local public health authority. It also recommends that medical personnel should ensure all players received the 2019-20 flu vaccine.
The league currently has no plans to cancel or postpone spring training and regular season games, according to Passan.
