The Athletic’s Evan Drellich reports that the MLB Player’s Association and MLB each announced that they plan to stick to the regularly schedule spring training and opening dat schedule.
“We have announced the dates for the start of Spring Training and the Championship Season,” MLB said in a statement. “As we get closer we will, in consultation with public health authorities, our medical experts, and the Players Association, determine whether any modifications should be considered in light of the current surge in COVID-19 cases and the challenges we faced in 2020 completing a 60-game season in a sport that plays every day.”

This is great news! I hope that there are no interruptions and that we see a full 162 game season. Hopefully as more people start to get vaccinated, we can see the stadiums open up for fans to attend home games.
