How you stop a larger scale outbreak with where the US is right now though, I’m not sure. I wonder what the overall success rate is going to look across all leagues.
I don't think MLB is going to cancel the season, there's just too much money involved, but I could see 25-30% of name players dropping out and it being a full asterisk season.

The craziest part is that they seem convinced having a normal travel schedule makes sense even though you won't have fans at these games - even with private jets & teams who can have multiple planes/buses that seems like a recipe for disaster.
