JACKSON, TN - In a release Tuesday, Minor League Baseball has announced the official cancellation of the 2020 season. The Generals 23rd season of professional baseball, officially scheduled to begin on April 9th, had been temporarily suspended due to concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus.

Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O'Conner said in an official statement, "These are unprecedented times for our country and our organization as this is the first time in our history that we've had a summer without Minor League Baseball played. While this is a sad day for many, this announcement removes the uncertainty surrounding the 2020 season and allows our teams to begin planning for an exciting 2021 season of affordable family entertainment."

"Although it's not a surprise, the cancellation of our 2020 season still hurts," said Generals GM Marcus Sabata. "It's unfortunate for our fans, but their health and safety will always be our number one priority. We look forward to the time when this pandemic is behind us and we can all gather together again and enjoy a fun filled night of Generals baseball."
