Let’s start with the obvious: Nobody knows when (or if) the Major League Baseball season is going to start in 2020. So keep that in mind that everything we’re talking about here is a hypothetical.
We do know that Toronto has banned all city-led and permitted events until June 30, which Mayor John Tory’s office clarified doesn’t impact pro sports teams, like the Blue Jays. The other alternative is no baseball before June 30, which looks more and more like a reality every day.
With more coronavirus-positive tests coming by the day, and more cities sure to curtail city-led events, it probably won’t be long before other Major League Baseball cities follow Toronto’s example. So projecting an actual date for MLB opening day for 2020 is about as easy as projecting where your dinner is coming from three Tuesdays from now.
