It took only four days for MLB’s season to erupt. As the Marlins grapple with a widespread coronavirus outbreak, the rest of the baseball community is wrestling with the notion of playing on amid a pandemic.

Manfred said in an interview Monday night the soonest the Marlins would play is Wednesday in Baltimore, which potentially erases two of their games from the schedule.
