I have a feeling after this cleaning things will be fine. Mlb will have that locker room absolutely spotless.Jon Heyman
Phillies visiting clubhouse is being fumigated “50 different ways” with Marlins there all weekend as a Yankees prepare to go in there. Phils-Yanks hasn’t been canceled yet but it’s a possibility.
The season is in jeopardy

Play in nyy.Heyman
Discussions about whether to play Yankees-Phillies game are ongoing. Not canceled yet but seems like strong chance it will be. Phillies players aren’t reporting symptoms but they are awaiting test results (as of now they’ve had no positives since some on intake)

Typically there's at least a 5-7 day incubation period for the virus, or until you might test positive, so the marlins players likely caught it before the season started, perhaps a week ago.Did the Braves infect the Marlins? They played Wednesday.
Atlanta lost both their starting & backup catcher.
Contact tracing here,...and what does Manfred do?
You play back ups, they might lose, they might not, it's baseball, anything can happen.With 60 games in 66 days, any quarantine for a team up to a week making up those games would be virtually impossible. How many doubleheaders could you have? This does not bode well for the season concluding, nor even moving fo6 for that matter.
Almost half the roster is affected. Its not safe for those players diagnosed to play.You play back ups, they might lose, they might not, it's baseball, anything can happen.
I thought they have 60 guys on their possible roster, that's plenty, isn't it? I understand they only have 29 active at one time, you adjust, that's the whole point of the 60 man expanded roster.Almost half the roster is affected. Its not safe for those players diagnosed to play.
The point is that it's unsafe for those players not affected to be playing in the first place. You're looking at a possible snowball effect as what's left of the season progresses. If games down the road are postponed due to long term quarantine, it screws up the season altogether given the time frame.I thought they have 60 guys on their possible roster, that's plenty, isn't it?

Isn't the point that no one gets sick from this , how many players in all these sports need to get it before people figure out it's a joke? 72 NFL players were positive last week, how many got sick, prob none, does it really matter?Not even just players and staff. How about family members who visited them. How about hotel staff and guests. Anywhere they've been. Its just awful. This virus has ruined the world.
sports books pulling their hair out !!!
Baseball has a big decision to make, they can panic like many want, or they can keep playing and set an example that you move on, you endure. It is interesting that the people that want to quit are the same people that quit in all facets of life.if Summer sports cancel so will NFL
if Summer sports cancel so will NFL
Games had the intensity of batting practice.Have to wonder where the players are in all this. Its def not the same watching. I imagine they feel its not the same playing in empty ballparks
