If MLB's plan was "shut down any team that has a positive" than they shouldn't have even started the season back up.

Players were getting this during lock-downs. Players were getting this before the season opened. Players are GOING to get this because MLB didn't attempt to isolate them outside of the ballparks.

Players getting COVID was inevitable and if they simply planned on locking down any team that had a positive test, they shouldn't have bothered. And that goes for every single one of these major sports.

Accept occasional cases as an inevitability or don't bother. This is ridiculous.

I'm just curious how so many cases just pop up at once to shut a team down. What exactly are they doing together outside of the games? When Bundesliga came back they didnt even practice as a full team and I feel like if any sport can manage doing that it's baseball.

Teams need to carry a few “bubble” hookers.

Clearly that wasn't their plan as the Marlins had positive tests and played another game. An 18th Marlin player tested positive today. The players are pushing herd immunity! Not sure about the coaches and others that travel with the team. 2 coaches had it that day of the initial shutdown

I figured that's what they were going to do after playing the Nationals/Yankees game after Soto's positive test. It seems the Marlins situation scared them so much that any positive test is going to lead to at least a series worth of cancelled games. The Jays aren't playing the entire weekend now because one of the Phillies coaches has it. They've put themselves in a corner now and they'll never finish the season that way.
