With the 2020 season in limbo, the Mets would host spring training at Citi Field should it occur. The news comes on the heels of multiple reports of COVID-19 outbreaks at facilities in Florida and Arizona. MLB asked all teams to close their spring training facilities yesterday after reports surfaced of Phillies, Blue Jays, Giants, and Astros players and staff testing positive for COVID-19.
The plan comes with hurdles, as teams would have to adjust their normal spring training routine to comply with local health regulations and condense their practice onto one field.
