On Wednesday we asked if coronavirus: COVID-19 could impact Major League Baseball? Today we might have an answer. The rumor swirling is that players will be leaving Spring Training in the next 48 hours:
I’ve heard MLB clubs are prepping for their organizations to prepare for “work from home” mode. No word on the regular season. Spring training is ending. I believe clubs are leaving their spring sites within the next 48 hours, including players going “home”.
