Last updated: July 22, 2020

The Minor League Baseball 2020 season has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decision came Tuesday after Major League Baseball decided not to provide any players for the Minor League.

Minor League Baseball President Pat O’Conner made the announcement in a digital press conference.

“These are unprecedented times for our country and our organization as this is the first time in our history that we’ve had a summer without minor league baseball played,” O’Conner said. “While this is a sad day for many, this announcement removes the uncertainty surrounding the 2020 season and allows our teams to begin planning for an exciting 2021 season of affordable family entertainment.”
