Reports indicate that Opening Day will be pushed back to mid-May at the earliest. A target date of Memorial Day weekend is optimistic, with some time in June appearing more realistic. Every day that the COVID-19 emergency pushes back the start of the regular season is another day that has to be squeezed in towards the end of the calendar year. It has been suggested that this could entail the use of neutral sites for at minimum the World Series.
I’ll be the first to agree that playing games at neutral locations is far from ideal.
