Minor League Baseball has been cancelled for the 2020 season

Players opting to sit out the season - Ryan Zimmerman, Joe Ross, Mike Leake, and Ian Desmond have so far stated - for varying reasons - that they will not be playing this season.

The story of Andrew Toles - Andrew was found sleeping behind the Key West International Airport in Florida a few weeks back. The popular starting outfielder for the LA Dodgers was picked up and arrested. According to his sister Morgan Toles, they were “relieved” he was found. They did not know if he was alive or dead for the last year and a half. Toles has been in and out of at least 20 mental health facilities since 2019 but usually vanishes after only about a week. The family was hoping that he would remain in custody until they were able to be granted guardianship over Toles, however an anonymous person posted the $500 bail setting toles back onto the streets.

MLB Schedules will be released next week … We already know the Dodgers will be playing the AssTros.
