Arizona Governor Says State Is
Willing to Host All MLB Teams On April 14, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey revealed
that the state was very “open-minded” to hosting
the 2020 Major League Baseball season. Phoenix, Arizona, was reportedly already
among the “contingency plans” being discussed
by MLB and the player’s association, making
Ducey’s offer even more appealing. According to Ducey, the move to begin MLB in the state
would have to be made at “the right time” in terms
of being “appropriate for public health.” Governor Doug Ducey,
via ESPN Ducey’s hosting offer includes not only
all the necessary facilities for the season,
but also housing for all 30 MLB teams. 10 spring training parks, several
college facilities and the Arizona
Diamondbacks’ Chase Field would
be available for use by MLB. In terms of housing, Ducey said the city
has “hotel space” available, although
“the metrics and the data” would have to be
confirmed before moving forward. Governor Doug Ducey,
