Arizona Cactus League asks MLB to delay start of spring training Follow Us
Question of the Day By Andy Kostka - The Washington Times - Monday, January 25, 2021
The Arizona Cactus league has asked MLB to delay the beginning of spring training due to the high coronavirus infection rates in the area.
In a letter sent to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, executive director of the Cactus League Bridget Binsbacher and the leaders of nearby cities said the community remains ready to work with MLB and has created a task force to make sure the 10 spring training facilities are safe.
“But in view of the current state of the pandemic in Maricopa County with one of the nation’s highest infection rates we believe it is wise to delay the start of spring training to allow for the COVID-19 situation to improve here,” the letter said.
