Major League Baseball announced on Monday that 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, however,

GMs are bracing for the possibility that the season won't start until July.

So 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, for example, what's going on with all

of the stadium workers, the folks 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 unhold?

Today, we're going to talk with the Athletic Zach Buchanan, who spoke to 22 stadium workers at

Spring Training in Arizona about how they're planning to get by, what they might do in the meantime,

and why promised donations from players and owners might not be such simple transactions.

I had some people that I spoke to that were skeptical of whether that money would get to those

people because you can't just pay it to them directly. You have to pay it to the company they work for

and what mechanisms exist to make sure the company they work for will actually pay it to their

employees as opposed to pocketing.

From Wondering on the Athletic, I'm Kavita Davidson.

And I'm Anders Keltow. It's Tuesday, March 17th, and this is the lead.

It felt like something great was happening.

There was just something about the emotion and that moment.

You know the first one, first one.

The first and the past don't matter because we've got this one.

This isn't a story where you interview the athlete in your home.
