The Seattle Mariners already announced this week that their opening series against the Texas Rangers would have to be relocated from T-Mobile Park, as Washington governor Jay Inslee issued a ban of all public gatherings exceeding 250 persons for King County and other locations in the state. Oregon governor Kate Brown did the same action on Thursday.
More to come.
