grady trimble has more now from wrigley field in chicago. >> reporter: the chicago cubs are used to playingzona but normally it's for spring training. now there are reports that the mlb is considering starting the cubs and every other team's season there as early as may. teams would play in empty spring training facilities in the arizona diamondbacks field. there would not be any fans there and teams would practice social distancing according to the reports. they would also be essentially sequestered in nearby hotels. teams in the league would lose out on revenue by ticket sales but it would bring life is sports to television, and a time when fans desperately want that. >> it would be weird, i would imagine it would be kind of odd for the players, playing in a quiet ballpark. >> i know players want to play, and fans want to watch em play, so if they have to make other arrangements, that's fine. >> and all back pushing back on these reports saying that while we've discussed the idea, we have not settled on that option or developed a detailed plan. for now we will have to wait and see if we g

as a kid i went to wrigley field in the 60s, the milwaukee braves with hank aaron and eddie matthews and so on were playing the cops and i never it never was much ofa contest but i don't want to insult my cubs fans . the fact of the matter is sitting in the centerfield brie bleacher was a pitcher named bob you'll and bob you'll was had a raincoat anticodon and he was stealing signals. the cubs finally figured it out in the sixth inning andit was a big uproar but having said that , this was a most unfortunate incident. no question about it. but ithink rob manfred , commissioner dealt with it harshly. after all, manager larson's job, the general manager lost a job. they got five million dollars which is the maximum that you can find somebody. then they lost their first and second draft choices which really hurts for two years. and then two other managers y lost their jobs including the manager of your favorite team . and but, i think people will understand in the future now how serious this was an these were serious, serious consequences for the houston club. yes, technology is getting

grady trimble is live at wrigley field with more. grady, it is intriguing! it is hard for some people to believe, charles. the chicago cubs, they're used to playing in arizona for spring training but under this plan all 30 of the mlb's teams would be playing their games in arizona. we'll see if it actually happens there are some skeptics but as you said, the stadiums would be empty. it would be spring training facilities and the air southern diamondbacks field. the teams would essentially be sequestered in hotels and they would follow social distancing guidelines. that is part of the reason for the electronic umpires, so the actual umpire could stand back at least six feet from the catcher t would be interesting to see, no doubt, and fans are eager to get any sort of live sports on tv right now. so they like the idea. >> i know the players want to play and the fans want to watch them play so if they have to make other arrangements i think that's fine. reporter: this is from espn but the mlb is pushing back on their report a little bit. though put out this st

it would be a beautiful day for baseball here but they're not talking about baseball at wrigley.y are talking about possibly in arizona at spring training facilities as well as the arizona diamondbacks field. but the stands would be empty, there would be no fans allowed. that would be a big downside for the league that generates about a third of its revenue, $10 billion a year, about a third of that coming from fans. so the way these games would be played, the teams would essentially be sequestered at nearby hotels in the area. they would only go to play the games and they would be socially distancing while they do so, according to these reports. one big upside for fans who are thirsting for some live sports to watch right now, while they would be able to and the league would generate a lot of tv rights from that. listen. >> you know, it's going to be weird. it's going to be kind of odd for the players, playing to a quiet ballpark. maybe not for the rays or anything, but it's going to be different but i think it's really kind of necessary for everybody to bring some normalcy abou
