With more than 400 major league games already called off because of the coronavirus outbreak, the league Tuesday reversed a policy that had restricted fans from widespread refunds on tickets to those games.
On a conference call, Major League Baseball informed team officials that they no longer needed to advise fans to hold onto those tickets. The decision clears the way for individual teams to announce refund policies for the affected games.
The change comes one week after MLB and all 30 of its teams were named as defendants in a lawsuit over the failure to refund tickets.
