#MLB owners not discussing canceling season amid Marlins’ coronavirus outbreak

Despite its current coronavirus crisis, the MLB plans to go on with its season.

Owners completed their weekly conference call Monday and there was no talk of cancelling the shortened 2020 season, The Post’s Joel Sherman reports.

After 11 players and two coaches on the Marlins tested positive, the league has already been forced to postpone two games. The Marlins spent the entire weekend in Philadelphia’s visitors clubhouse, where the Yankees were scheduled to arrive on Monday.

As a result, both Monday’s scheduled games between the Marlins and Orioles and between the Yankees and Phillies have been postponed. The Orioles reportedly are traveling home from Miami, meaning Tuesday’s game likely will be postponed as well.

After significant back-and-forth between the player’s union and ownership – including ample criticism from players about safety and pay – MLB commissioner Rob Manfred implemented a 60-game regular season. After just one weekend, however, those plans have already been threatened.
