Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic is reporting that Major League Baseball is at least considering a plan that would include playing games without fans at the spring training homes in either Florida or Arizona – though Arizona seems more likely as the travel between sites is much shorter.
It’s not just Major League Baseball that’s having the conversation, though. The NBA and The Premier League have both also had talks about essentially quarantining teams and playing in empty stadiums/arenas with all of the games being broadcasted on television.
As you can expect, the pushback from that is big.
