Things are getting really tricky around the Major League Baseball world after pretty much half of the Miami Marlins’ roster tested positive for COVID-19 over the past few days.
The Marlins themselves are expected to be out of action until at least Monday. Meanwhile, other teams will have to change their schedules to take this into account. There’s now more information available, something that could have wide-ranging ramifications.
Carlos A. Giménez (R) is not necessarily forcing the Marlins into quarantine. But in reality, this makes the most sense. Tests after initial exposure to COVID-19 don’t tell the entire story. Individuals can test positive long after potentially being exposed.
As for the MLB season, things seem to be unraveling right now.
There’s been a lot of concern about MLB playing outside of a bubble this season. Given the widespread nature of the COVID-19 pandemic around the United States, that makes sense.
At least for now, this doesn’t threaten to derail the season.
