    Will The MLB Suspend The 2020 season

    I'm sure this is something the MLB is seriously looking at right now especially that NBA has announced it suspending the remainder of it's season. Some world tournaments has also been cancelled over the Covid-19 pandemic. The protection of the players and people has to be their top priority expect an announcement soon.

    Yes. Opening Day will be in June IMO.

    Maybe the Sox investigation will be done by then?

    All kidding aside, if they don't have anything on the Sox, they should just say so and get it over with. The commissioner is doing another disservice to the league by dragging it out.

    The League will be criticized if they go ahead with the season under the circumstances. Its difficult, because no one can say when the COVID-19 virus will pass by. It could go until mid summer or later so maybe the Sox will ride out the expected down season and get back in 2021 with the league starting back up.

    We'll be lucky to see any baseball this year. Our only hope is the warmer weather stalls it but there's little evidence of it as yet.

    I have friends who live in Milan, Italy. The only advice I can give you now is stay the fuck away from crowds and mostly any other people(especially if you're older with any underlying issues/complaints). This is going to explode in the US (partly down to the horrific opening response to it, just like Italy's), and in Italy right at this minute, they're deciding who lives, and who dies in the corridor as they don't have the ICU beds to deal with what's happening.

    There is a feeling of inevitability among executives that Major League Baseball will be suspending spring training as soon as today, sources tell ESPN.

    I assume that the teams will still work out a scrimmage.
