    Only a matter of time before the season is canceled which is a good thing. Brett Gardener will be another year older which mean he will retired and the Yankees have a chance of winning a World Series with him a lifetime post season hitter of .120

    It also give the Yankees a full year to recover whatever injuries they keep getting and all of them can go get some sorta surgery even if they don’t need it.

    So as a Yankee fan they should cancel the 2020 MLB season for those two reasons alone.

      2020 is their best window. Start up June 1. Injured guys back. Bullpen stays fresh all season instead of burning out. Trade deadline just 50 games in. It’s their best hope to return to relevancy and finally win one. De-activating Gardner in October would help too.

    Incredibly stupid decision. It’s a much safer and orderly world when people are left to their own decisions after calculating risk, whether it’s driving, flying, biking or even walking – there is a risk for literally every action in life, but when any authority pre-empts that decision, the Law of Unintended Consequences will ALWAYS rear it’s ugly head: far more people will perish from a world-wide recession or depression resulting from this sort of over-reaction than any modern epidemic or pandemic. Please everyone, crawl out from under your beds and get back to life.

      it’s best to flatten the pandemic curve as much as possible.

      lysander – I have to agree with you. If you’ve got a serious underlying health issue please by all means isolate and protect yourself. The rest of us – especially our kids – are fine. I’m not a conspiracist (and can’t spell either according to this) but disabling the entire world is not going to contain anything. People have to work, eat, commute, socialise.

    so it’s a yankee thing that the season is canceled. no they will not cancel the season because of the dam fricken Yankees so they get healthy. what the heck happen to the Yankees are going to walk through the season and win the world series? they haven’t been to the fall classic in over a decade. hopefully it will continue for more decades to come. hope ny will suffer like all the other clubs that dont get a chance to win the world series.
    yankee fans think that everything evolves around them. just pathetic you fans are.

      Restart spring training late April/May and the season around June 1. Yanks get most of their injured/suspended players back for the start of the season. Bullpen isn’t on fumes in September like it normally is. Still fresh for October. Yanks win. That’s how I’ve heard it around other message boards.

    The scientists and medical experts have spoken. They provide sound reasoning, based on math and science plus career-long expertise and training, on why “this is not just the flu”. Words to the wise to follow.

    The rest of us are breathlessly waiting for mick1956’s take. He knows better.

      Yea, and so have the lawyers and the reps for the players unions. I’m sure they play a large role in the decision making process.

    Purely curious – what are the implications to guaranteed contracts (salaries)? Whether insurance covers any of it, or owners are 100% responsible if season is delayed/canceled.

      None likely- baseball is doing this to itself, so I can’t see them skirting salary payments.

      Not sure about MLB, but NBA has a clause in their CBA that lets players keep most of their salary (I think they lose like 1/92.6 or some weird number like that) in times of crisis like this if games get canceled. I’m sure MLB has something similar.

    Here’s an idea (totally tongue-in-cheek): Hold all large attendance functions but test everyone on their way into the event and on their way out of the event. Then you can see just how many more people get the virus by attending the event. Multiply that number by the number of events around the country and we’ll have an answer as to how bad it can get on a daily basis. Do this for at least a month to get credible data. Then spend another month coming up with a plan of action. Then blame the European Union.
