Major League Baseball has cancelled the remainder of its spring training games, also announcing that the start of the 2020 regular season will be delayed by at least two weeks due to the national emergency created by the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision was announced following a call with all 30 Clubs and after consultation with the Major League Baseball Players Association. Opening Day was originally scheduled for March 26.
MLB said the action “is being taken in the interests of the safety and well-being of our players, Clubs and our millions of loyal fans.”
