The Marlins home opener was scheduled for tonight against the Orioles before being postponed earlier today. As of now, the Marlins are still in Philadelphia as they await the results of another round of tests.
Many within the game believe this could also throw a wrench in the entire season. This becomes the first real test to Major League Baseball’s plan.
Waiting to hear if the 2020 MLB season has been cancelled. Nothing definitive yet. “In jeopardy” seems to be the most texted term to me in the last 30 minutes.
