Minor League Baseball,which in the nearby area includes the Double A New Hampshire Fisher Cats in Manchester and the Single A Lowell (Mass.) Spinners, will not have a 2020 season, thanks to COVID-19.

That announcement was made late Tuesday afternoon. The Fisher Cats, the Toronto Blue Jays Double A Eastern League affiliate, have already missed three months of their season, while the short season New York Penn League Lowell Spinners, a Class A Boston Red Sox affiliate, were slated to open the middle of last month.
