Arizona’s Cactus League, several mayors in the state, and other community leaders asked the Major League Baseball Monday to delay the start of spring training because of concerns about the coronavirus.

Spring training is currently slated to start the week of February 15, and the regular season is set to begin on April 1. The letter cited data showing that Arizona is projected to have a sharp decline in infections by mid-March.

The Cactus League hosts spring training for 15 MLB teams.
