MLB insider Jeff Passan was on ESPN’s Get UP Friday morning reporting that after talking to owners, players, and others involved in Major League Baseball, that we aren’t likely to see games until May.
Major League Baseball announced on Thursday that Spring Training has been cancelled and that the start of the regular season will be moved back at least two weeks. That two weeks would bring us to April 9, and given that teams still had close to two weeks left of Spring Training, it seems unrealistic they would jump right into regular season games from an almost month hiatus.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Major League Baseball sent out a memo to teams stating that both minor league and major league players should not leave their current spring locales through Sunday, except for extraordinary reasons that MLB is made aware of.
In the meantime, the St. Lucie Mets released a statement saying that the Clover Park complex will be closed to fans – including the back fields – effective immediately.
They also outlined the ticket refund procedure for the remaining Mets home spring games. You go to the box office Monday through Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. or call 772-871-2115.
