After the Marlins’ coronavirus outbreak<\/a> among the team’s players and staff, many have wondered whether Major League Baseball will end up canceling the 2020 season<\/a>. Dr. Anthony Fauci says we’re not quite to that point, but warns the outbreak could put the season in “danger.”<\/p>\n Speaking to “Good Morning America” on Tuesday morning, Fauci explained why MLB shouldn’t end the season right away.
