As Spring Training draws to an end and Texas Rangers fans begin to look toward the start of the regular season, a new wrinkle has been thrown into Opening Day as the series scheduled at the Seattle Mariners will no longer be played in Seattle.
The decision to move the opening series of the season comes after Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced that gathers of 250 or more people are prohibited in an attempt to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This announcement was preceded by many conversations between the Governor and the CDC (Center for Disease Control).
