  • MLB Delays Opening Day by 2 weeks

    Major League Baseball is delaying the start of the 2020 regular season by at least two weeks in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the league announced Thursday.

    MLB said in a statement that spring training games have also been suspended starting at 4 p.m. ET Thursday.

    Commissioner Rob Manfred and the league's owners held a conference call Thursday afternoon to formalize the plan.

    "MLB will announce the effects on the schedule at an appropriate time and will remain flexible as events warrant, with the hope of resuming normal operations as soon as possible," MLB said in its statement.
