Big league managers say that Major League Baseball has instructed them to prepare for spring training to start on time in mid-February despite uncertainty around the coronavirus. Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that officials from the commissioner's office had a meeting with managers Tuesday and expressed optimism about opening spring camps as scheduled. "I think Major League Baseball was somewhat the petri dish," Cash said. Obviously if you look at last year’s situation, Major League Baseball, everybody adjusted on the fly. Most said they were eager to provide information to players, but not to issue directions.
