The coronavirus pandemic, and some ugly disagreements between MLB and the Players Association, made sure that there wasn’t a Minor League season in 2020. And, despite the fact that the 2020 MLB campaign took place under severe health protocols, the start of the 2021 MiLB year will be delayed, according to Baseball America.
While Spring Training is expected to begin on time, the start of the Minor League season at Double-A and Class-A will be delayed. MLB sent a memo to MiLB teams this week, letting them know that the aforementioned levels’ seasons won’t be starting on time.
