Chicago Cubs might just be ‘essential personnel’ for fans during this crisis

As first responders and medical professionals continue working to ensure the safety of all of us, several of the professional sports organizations are cautiously eyeing a potential return to action.

We have no idea when baseball will return. But Major League Baseball is planning for just about every imaginable scenario during this time in hopes of expediting a return to action once it’s deemed safe. We’ve seen several hypothetical proposals floated of late and, as people ignore the calls to stay indoors, perhaps the return of sports could help turn the tide.

One of the more prominent scenarios include testing of players and having them played in a quarantined setting, likely in the Phoenix metro area.
