Report: Suspension of Major League Baseball is Forthcoming
We have reached the point where much of the country is shut down due to the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Schools have closed, businesses have closed, and the closures have spread to the sports world.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported about 1:30 p.m. that an announcement is expected soon:
We will update this post when we have more information.
Meanwhile, the Phillies take on the Tampa Bay Rays in Port Charlotte in what will likely be the last Phillies game for a while. There is much left to work out, so stay tuned.
