I am not weighing in with my opinion on this.
However, there are many, many issues beyond those posed for players or addressed in the initial proposal.
Things that those who haven't worked in sports may not immediately notice.

There are many life-altering strains that will result in this for both players and staff, from pre-existing medical conditions, marriages, relationships and parental situations.
Several other questions -- where will players get called up from if minor leagues aren't also playing?
If someone is called up, they may be exposed to the virus and if everyone's sequestered in the same hotels, one callup could infect the entire league.
