MLB is Being Delayed From The Start.

Major League Baseball told minor league teams that the commissioner’s office would inform teams by March 15 whether the Triple-A season could start on schedule in April.

MLB has canceled the first month of the Triple-A season because of continuing concerns from the coronavirus pandemic.

The new schedule eliminates the two-day break around the MLB all-star game, so the new schedules are set for 120 games with 10 home series and 10 road series.

Instead of having games in April, MLB teams will set up alternate training sites, some of which will be at the sites of Triple-A teams. Lehigh Valley, the Phillies’ Triple-A affiliate, has already announced that it will serve as an alternate training site.
