Some potentially good news last week regarding the chances there will be a Major League Baseball season at some point this year. Needless to say, owners and players are both going to do whatever it takes to play even 50-60 regular season games and a postseason because both sides would lose hundreds of millions of dollars if there’s no baseball in 2020.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the United States and really the public face of battling the coronavirus, said he could see a way that sports could return this summer – he didn’t give a date and wasn’t going to make a prediction – and that’s if games are played in empty stadiums/arenas and the players are quarantined in hotels.

MLB seems to be looking at a plan to have all 30 teams play in Arizona, which has 10 spring training sites with ballparks, a few major colleges with fields and Chase Field – all in the greater Phoenix area.
