The latest moves made by the BlueJays and MLB are the latest confirmation that the delay on opening day is going to last a whole lot more than the “at least two weeks” mentioned in MLB’s historic suspension announcement. (By ShiDavidi)

TORONTO — The risk for everyone right now continues to be in underreacting, not in overreacting to the COVID-19 outbreak. As much as we’d like this to pass quickly, the unrelenting firehose stream of daily developments, including U.S. President Donald Trump declaring a national emergency, won’t make it clear.

Some teams also suspended their minor-league spring training and began sending minor-league players home, a step thetook Friday. An email message from the club said the majority of players “will be encouraged to return home,” while the team would recommend that a smaller group of players stay back “due to various reasons.”

Also unsurprising is the looming tug of war between owners and players over the financial implications of the season’s suspension on compensation, an area that has yet to be figured out. What happens this year, of course, will be the result of a national emergency, a situation covered by some language in the standard players contract that MLB could try to exploit.
