MLB Considering Starting Season In Florida Or Arizona 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Apr 4, 2020 4:02 pm

Major League Baseball is considering starting their season in Florida or more likely Arizona, sources tell The Athletic. Arizona has more stadiums in a concentrated area than Florida. 

The logistics of quarantine 30 teams in one area would be complex and potentially controversial. 

The possibility of the sport returning this summer in stadiums open to fans appears increasingly remote.

To play under quarantine, MLB would need to protect the health of players, other club personnel, umpires and those producing television broadcasts, plus hotel workers, bus drivers and anyone else involved with the players and gams.

“Your margin of error is so small,” one baseball official said.
