Impact of coronavirus on the Giants and spring training

Major League Baseball announced on Thursday afternoon that all baseball operations were to be suspended "at least two weeks" to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. With that, San Francisco Giants spring training came to an abrupt halt.

That decision shut down any and all spring training games, while Opening Day and the 2020 season would be delayed as well.

Also effected is the 2020 World Baseball Classic, as the qualifier games that were set to be played in Tucson, AZ are postponed indefinitely as well while MLB decides how to approach the coronavirus outbreak.
