MLB Rumors: Officials Believe June Is ‘More Realistic’ Target For Opening Day; Contingent On Increase In Available Coronavirus Tests

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) peak approaches across the United States, Major League Baseball and other professional sports leagues have begun formulating plans with regard to potentially resuming their respective seasons.

MLB has reportedly pinpointed Arizona as a centralized location for all 30 teams to begin the 2020 campaign as early as May. In this scenario, Chase Field and 10 Cactus League Spring Training facilities would be the site of regular-season games.

The proposal comes with some restrictions, however, as fans would not be permitted to attend. Players, coaches and team employees would additionally quarantine in nearby hotels, only being allowed to travel back and forth to the ballparks.
