that's interesting, quarantine MLB in Phoenix
The plan, sources said, would dictate that all 30 teams play games at stadiums with no fans in the greater Phoenix area

We could see several of our youngsters
The plan could include teams carrying significantly expanded rosters to account for the possibility of players testing positive despite the isolation
Sounds like this might be the only chance for the youngsters this yr with no minor league season announced yet

After that they should gradually transition to regular stadiums but limit ticket sales to 10-15k a game to allow for social distancing. A lot of teams won't even notice a difference. :)

People on Twitter scoffing at the idea. I guess they would rather sit home jacking off all summer than even considering a way to have baseball.

I think they should play nothing but DOUBLEHEADERS every night until they get caught up with the normal schedule..!

They should play in the regular stadiums but only people who have tested positive for the virus (and recovered) can attend.
