We’ve finally made it to 2021! It’s January so if my astronomical calculations are correct, next month is February and that means spring training and the beginning of a new and normal baseball season.
Or does it?
With spring training traditionally set to begin next month, there’s still a lot that needs to be sorted out by the league. Back on December 15th, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported that many MLB executives and owners would like to delay the start of the spring training and the season in order to get players vaccinated. This delay would most likely result in a shorter than usual season depending on when the league could get its hands on the vaccine.
