Major League Baseball announced Monday it would postpone opening day until at least mid-May. Commissioner Rob Manfred made the announcement after the CDC on Sunday recommended gatherings of 50 people or more be canceled nationwide. According to some reports, GM's are bracing for the possibility that the season won't start until July. Even though MLB is making it sound like there’s a chance we’ll see some baseball in the near future, there are a lot of unanswered questions, like: What is going on with all of the stadium workers who sell beer and hot dogs, or who check bags and work in parking lots? What are they going to do as their livelihoods are on hold? The Athletic’s Zach Buchanan spoke to 22 stadium workers at Spring Training in Arizona about how they’re planning to get by, and he joins us to talk about what they're doing in the meantime and why promised donations from players and owners might not be such simple transactions.
