Following a call with the 30 Clubs, and after consultation with the Major
League Baseball Players Association, Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr.
today announced that MLB has decided to suspend Spring Training games and to
delay the start of the 2020 regular season by at least two weeks due to the
national emergency created by the coronavirus pandemic. This action is being
taken in the interests of the safety and well-being of our players, Clubs and
our millions of loyal fans.
在与30支大联盟队伍联系并在与MLB球员协会协商之后，MLB主席 Robert D. Manfred
宣布，MLB已决定暂停春训，并将2020例行赛季的开始时间推迟。冠状病毒大流行造成
国家紧急状态，因此至少需要延后两周时间。这样做是为了维护我们的球员，各队和数
百万忠实观众的安全和健康。
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.
MLB将继续评估本赛季开始前正在进行的赛事。有关日常操作和锻炼的指南将在未来几天
内转给各队。美东时间3/12下午4:00，已宣布取消即将举行的春训，并且延迟了在亚利桑
那州图森举行的2020年世界棒球经典赛资格赛，确切延后到何时仍然待定。
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.
MLB和各队一直在制定有关2020例行赛季时间表的各种应急计划。MLB将在适当的时间
宣布赛程应变计画，并在允许时保持弹性，以期尽快恢复正常运行。
Nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of our players,
employees and fans. MLB will continue to undertake the precautions and best
practices recommended by public health experts. We send our best wishes to
all individuals and communities that have been impacted by coronavirus.
对我们而言，没有什么比球员，员工和球迷的健康和安全更为重要。MLB将继续采取公共
卫生专家建议的预防措施和最佳做法。我们向受到冠状病毒影响的所有个人和社区致以
最好的祝福。
