MLB Players React to League Postponing Opening Day

Following suit with the rest of professional sports in the United States, the MLB is taking major precautions against the spread of COVID-19. The league opted to forego the remainder of Spring Training and even delay Opening Day, leaving players wondering when they'll be back to work.

While the announcement wasn't all that shocking, it was still a bombshell that will impact many people across the country, none more so than players themselves. Well, some of the league's biggest stars took to social media to weigh in on the latest developments.

Angels superstar Mike Trout took to Twitter to send a message of positivity to baseball fans.

As Trout says, being cautious and maintaining good health is of the utmost importance. Baseball will be back, but staying healthy is critical in the meantime.

A similar sentiment was shared by Houston Astros star Alex Bregman, who sent his well wishes to his followers.

New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman was reeling just like the rest of us after the big announcement, posting a series of emojis suggesting he was going through a complete roller coaster of emotions.

Cleveland Indians ace Mike Clevinger, who has been outspoken about many topics this offseason, took to Twitter to share his well wishes for fans, as well as his desire to get back on the field.

New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso shared his two cents on the matter, telling fans that baseball season is worth waiting for, even amid the delay.

Much like Stroman, Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood opted for emojis instead of a long message, but his feelings resonated with fans just the same.

As for Brewers pitcher Brett Anderson, he opted for a more comical approach to the situation.

As fans who were eager for Opening Day, we're in the same boat (or plastic bag) as you, Brett.

MLB players are going through a whirl of emotions, much like fans, reacting to the unprecedented news that Opening Day would not be taking place as planned. While health is of the utmost importance during these unique and trying times, players are still equally disappointed that baseball won't be back as soon as we expected.
