MLB teams are sending scouts home amidst coronavirus fears

Share

Major League Baseball teams are taking precautionary steps in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Per ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers, teams are pulling their scouts off the road and some are canceling travel altogether. Passan added “most, if not all, teams” will follow suit in a matter of days.

The NBA announced Wednesday they're suspending the 2019-20 season indefinitely. MLB hasn't made any official proclamations but will likely make an announcement on its next steps in the coming days.

Opening Day is March 26, and one idea discussed is relocating games or potentially playing them without fans.
