The announcement comes on the same day that officials with the Cactus League and some Arizona government officials sent a letter to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred requesting the 2021 spring training schedule be delayed due to the area's COVID-19 situation, which is one of the worst in the nation.
The Associated Press reports, MLB said in a statement that it "will continue to consult with public health authorities, medical experts, and the Players Association whether any schedule modifications to the announced start of Spring Training and the Championship Season should be made in light of the current COVID-19 environment to ensure the safety of the players, coaches, umpires, MLB employees and other game day personnel in a sport that plays every day.”
