Senior MLB officials are "near certain" there will be a 2020 season despite the coronavirus pandemic, according to Charles Gasparino of Fox Business.

Gasparino added that "details of the game" are still being debated and league officials are closely watching when New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will reopen businesses and lift the stay-at-home order in New York City, since the New York Yankees and New York Mets will be impacted.

The 2020 MLB regular season had been scheduled to begin in late March, but the league shut down during spring training due to COVID-19 and has yet to announce a plan for starting the season.
