Per ESPN: The LLWS has been canceled for the first time in the tournament's history. (It started in 1947.)

It'll be interesting in what they do with the MLB draft this year since all of the college and high school seasons were canceled. I mean you would just be drafting guys based on what they did in their junior seasons. I doubt that many college players would be leaving college early in this current situation. So you could be basically having a double the quality of prospects next year. Even if they had a draft this year there is no minor leagues for them to play in this season anyways.

I don't care if Schilling makes it or not, but I totally want his sock in there.

Only if the display includes Lamb Chop thinking his brother was murdered.

I don't see anything happening before end of July at earliest.

And given our nation's current trajectory, that's probably a pipe dream.

[JoeMcKim]

I think the plans will be for the regular season games starting by late June and early July, with 3 weeks of "spring training" games in June. It basically is contingent on how well the re-openings of these states go in the coming weeks. Honestly, I'm sure MLB is waiting to see how all of that goes before announcing anything official.

[The Green Miles]

I'm ready to go today. No way I'm not immune to this.

[heyzeus]

I missed you, green miles

[go birds]

i just want baseball strictly for fantasy baseball purposes.

I think a modified shortened season would be fun to watch but my fear is that manfred will get too many ideas.
