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.
