For the vast majority of MLB players, having to play in front of no fans is going to take some getting used to.
The 60-game regular season will be played without fans given the global coronavirus pandemic and surging cases in the U.S. And it will be in a similar setup to what we’ve already seen with U.S. and international soccer leagues — as well as the KBO.
It’s going to be different, and we’ve already seen a preview of that from the scrimmages. When someone makes a great play, we’ll hear the audible reactions from the players. And that’ll be it.
But it doesn’t sound like the Brewers’ Logan Morrison is too concerned about the new fanless atmosphere. He’s already used to it.
Logan Morrison, when asked about playing with no fans in stands: "For me, it's not going to be that difficult. I played for the Rays and the Marlins."

BURN. It was all in good fun, though, Marlins and Rays fans.
LoMo was just having some fun. We need to have more fun, and he definitely understands the importance of having some fun. Good lesson. https://t.co/iYMWBFmtI2

Morrison, of course, played his first four MLB seasons with the Marlins and another two with the Rays — both teams are consistently at the bottom in league attendance. Like, it gets bad.
If anyone was going to be ready for the new-look MLB season, it’s probably Morrison.
