MLB’s decision to delay the season has Giants, other teams searching for clarity

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — For the first time since pitchers and catchers reported to camp in Scottsdale on February 11, Giants players had a day off on Thursday.

A day without baseball was planned from the time the Cactus League scheduled was released last year, but no one expected what lies ahead.
