Major League Baseball temporarily suspended its operations two weeks ago in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, cancelling all remaining Spring Training games and indefinitely delaying the start of the regular season.
The earliest in which play can resume is now mid-May, though all signs point to the hiatus extending into June or even July. MLB has been working on resolving some pressing issues in preparation of a late start to the season, including service time for players.
An agreement has been reached with the MLB Players Association that will ensure players receive a full year of service time regardless of how many games are played this season.
