Cactus League asks MLB to delay start of spring training because of COVID-19 pandemic

Leaders of all eight Cactus League cities sent a letter to Major League Baseball saying it would be "wise" to delay the start of spring training due to the high rate of COVID-19 infections in Maricopa County.

Here we go again. "Quit playing outdoor games! You are going to kill us all."

And how does delaying Spring Training change that or help?

It’s not out of control here. The vast majority of people are living

COVID case rate is a crap measurement. ICU beds available is around 10%

Yep. If AZ doesn't want the money, take it to someone who does.

The owners want to delay the season, play fewer games, and owe the players less money.

We signed the letter here is the justification: 6 and 10 Cactus League fans are from out of state.

If this gets fans at those games then so be it. I’d like to watch some

I’d rather the regular season start on time. Who cares about spring training.

The taxpayers that built the stadiums and would like a return on their investment.

I’m sure they do. Unfortunately for them, their opinion isn’t the most important here.

It’s cool to go to in the spring.

I agree. Spring training is awesome.
