We are 17 days away from Opening Day!
Coronavirus: As of right now, MLB plans to start the season on time despite the ongoing concerns about the spread of coronavirus. Angels newly-signed third baseman Anthony Rendon says he is hesitant and aware of the risk players face in signing autographs, while understanding it’s unlikely he gets sick. Players have to consider the safety of fans, as well as their family members. Mike Trout recently announced his wife’s pregnancy. Everyone has reason to be cautious.
“We don’t want to get anybody ill, because we don’t want this place shut down for 14 days,” says manager Joe Maddon.
