The start of the 2021 minor league season will be delayed, according to a report from Baseball America. J.J. Cooper reports was memo was sent to minor league teams this week notifying them that spring training won’t begin for Double-A and A-ball players until MLB and Triple-A players have concluded camp, to allow for more social distancing. This would push the season for those leagues back to May, with plans for a full season lasting until October. There will be no playoffs for those leagues, although they may have a longer regular season schedule.
