Heard MLB was thinking of playing the season at spring training sites to avoid travel fees if more states ban public viewing of games with more than a certain number of people.

I think this could work for better logistics for all teams I would think. At least for half a season possibly

It's that or completely delay the season.

Swinging wild-assed suggestion alert ahead:

I'd rather them delay the start of the season (April 15 or May 1...May 1 is a Friday, which is when a typical series would start), use the time to re-work a shortened schedule (scrapping interleague games would be my suggestion...that is about 3 weeks' worth of games) and sort out stadium booking issues and ticket stuff.

They'll delay the season before they do that

Or just end spring training today and start the season on time.

Im not sure a delay helps. How will they handle the back end of the season? What if the virus crap drags on into June? I think reducing the season is most likely for legal reasons as it's the best way for owners to reduce costs in a way that more closely aligned with revenue.

They need to play about a 110 game season. Wrap things up the last week of September and play a normal post season schedule.

They announced a suspension of Spring Training and delayed regular season by two weeks tentatively placing Opening day on April 9th.

Why not play the games in empty ball parks

Tv ratings will certainly be up

I know with the Astros getting kicked out of the NL, inter-league games have been uniquely scheduled, but seems like it would make sense to explore doing without inter-league games, and reducing divisional games.

Playing deep into October just doesn't seem like a good idea, for several reasons.

Each league has 15 teams. You have to keep interleague or 2 teams are sitting at home Fri-Sun or Mon-Thurs. That said, yes, at least cutting down on the # would be a start

The still image for that video link is an interesting choice. Greenberg and Passan look absolutely hammered.
