With Major League Baseball's 1st year entry draft, reduced from 40 rounds to 5 this year, set to start on Wednesday, it's increasingly unlikely that the NY-Penn League will start its season on time.
The league, and, for the benefit of the 518, the Tri-City Valleycats, were supposed to receive some sort of information on Friday, but, with MLB still unsure about their own season, creating fresh tension & friction between owners and the players' union, no announcement is forthcoming any time soon, per Mark Singelais of the Albany Times-Union.
Valleycats GM Matt Callahan, in speaking with reporters, has expressed interest in converting Bruno Stadium for other activities, including movie nights, which have not drawn very well due to lack of promotion, in the even there is no season. Phase 2 of the 518 reopening the economy earlier this week included outdoor dining under social distancing restrictions, while Phase 4 would open the door for the 'Cats to begin play, if at all possible, and that's still a ways away.
All we can say for now is, stay tuned.
