Manfred: MLB will not return ‘until the public health situation is improved’

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred told Maria Bartiromo of Fox Business Tuesday that the season will not resume until given the proper clearance from health care officials.

“The only decision we have made, the only real plan that we have, is that baseball is not going to return until the public health situation is improved to the point that we’re comfortable that we can play games in a manner that is safe for our players, our employees, our fans and in a way that will not impact the public health situation adversely," Manfred said.
