Baseball is on hold at least another seven weeks, and that is a best-case scenario.
Major League Baseball on Monday said it would adhere to a recommendation by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that no gathering larger than 50 people be held for at least eight weeks to help stem the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The MLB release said it remains “committed to playing as many games as possible when the season begins.”
What is possible?
At this point, anything.
Except for this: It is virtually certain the 2020 season will be the first in 25 years to comprise fewer than 162 games.
