New York Mets May Use Citi Field as “Spring Training” Site

Due to the second wave of COVID-19 breaking out in Florida and Arizona, Major League Baseball is shutting down all of their Spring Training facilities in both states. Along with the season negotiations, this adds another hurdle to baseball’s return. The New York Mets will have a critical decision to make regarding where their games will take place.

Major League Baseball will close all spring training sites in Arizona and Florida for deep cleaning and will not permit players or staff members until they pass a COVID-19 test.

While each facility is shut down they will go through deep cleaning and hopefully reopen early next week.
