Major League Baseball cancelled due to covid-19

Major League Baseball is allowing players to go home, announcing its decision a day after canceling the rest of the spring training schedule and postponing Opening Day by at least two weeks amid the coronavirus outbreak.

After a meeting in Arizona on Friday that included baseball commissioner Rob Manfred, union head Tony Clark and their top aides, players were told they could remain at spring training, report to the team's home city or go to their own homes. The league also announced it was suspending spring training camps.
