百萬忠實觀眾的安全和健康。
MLB will continue to evaluate ongoing events leading up to the start of the
season. Guidance related to daily operations and workouts will be relayed to
Clubs in the coming days. As of 4:00 p.m. (ET) today, forthcoming Spring
Training games have been cancelled, and 2020 World Baseball Classic Qualifier
games in Tucson, Arizona have been postponed indefinitely.

那州圖森舉行的2020年世界棒球經典賽資格賽，確切延後到何時仍然待定。
MLB and the Clubs have been preparing a variety of contingency plans regarding
the 2020 regular season schedule. MLB will announce the effects on the
schedule at an appropriate time and will remain flexible as events warrant,
with the hope of resuming normal operations as soon as possible.

practices recommended by public health experts. We send our best wishes to
all individuals and communities that have been impacted by coronavirus.
