Major League Baseball announced earlier today that the league would be suspending operation indefinitely due to concerns over the spread of Novel Coronavirus, or covid-19, canceling the rest of Spring Training, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports. The Minnesota Twins will wrap exhibition games at 7-8 following a four game losing streak.
This decision comes after the National Basketball Association (NBA) suspended operation for the rest of the season, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) canceled conference tournaments (and announced the championship tournament would be held without fans), and National Football League (NFL) teams announced their staff would avoid travel for the near future.
