    @JonHeyman 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.

    Also, the Yankees are set to use the same facilities that the Marlins just used. Would a similar outbreak of Yankees players make you less than thrilled about continuing the season? What if Judge had the symptoms ERod is showing?
  3. mvp 78
    I think the concern is that this is the opening day weekend and Marlins are already out 12 guys. The chance this spreads to other teams is fairly likely. I don't think the additional player pool was meant to completely replenish the MLB team during an outbreak. It was just meant to function as a larger 40 man squad since the MiLB season was to be cancelled. If Manfred knew that 12 Marlins would get COVID less than a week into the season, he would have either cancelled the season or would have tried the bubble strategy.

    @PhilAPerry This @AP story points out that the Marlins played exhibition games at Atlanta on Tuesday and Wednesday. Says the Braves have since been without two players after both "showed symptoms of the coronavirus." http://usnews.com/news/sports/articles/2020-07-26/miami-marlins-postpone-trip-home-amid-fear-of-virus-outbreak

    @ADSohn Things MLB spent a lot of time on: figuring out how to use a pandemic to f*** over the players Things MLB spent no time at all on: figuring out how to actually play baseball in a pandemic Turns out this may have not been a good approach!

    I wasn't specifically asking you. Was just hoping Jacko could read our comments and chime in when he gets the chance.

    7/26: Management: "Uh, so we have 4 positive cases right now. Do you guys feel like playing today or no?" Players: "Yeah, let's go." 7/27: "That was a whoopsiedoodle!"

    @GolicAndWingo “I think that the players wanted to play, and I think that MLB didn’t want to set off any alarms with just 4 players.” - @JeffPassan on why Marlins players who had tested positive still played against the Phillies yesterday...
  10. mvp 78
    Is transmission immediate? As in would you get a positive test if you ran into a COVID player yesterday? Testing window for general public is 7-12 days right now, but I think the MLB players are getting tests back within 24 hours.

    @CraigMish Waiting to hear if the 2020 MLB season has been cancelled. Nothing definitive yet. “In jeopardy” seems to be the most texted term to me in the last 30 minutes.
  12. mvp 78
    Honest question: What's the timeframe for a Phillies player testing positive if they came into contact with a Marlins player who had COVID?
  13. mvp 78
    @JeffPassan Eight more players and two coaches with the Miami Marlins have tested positive for COVID-19, as an outbreak has spread throughout their clubhouse and brought the total of cases in recent days to at least 14, sources familiar with the situation tell me and

    @CraigMish Before this hits the fan today, I’d like to share that inside that clubhouse, and in that organization, to a man (and woman) they all felt safe. I have polled. Someone would leak to me if they weren’t following the strict protocols, and I would say it here.

    @Ken_Rosenthal Source: Marlins’ game tonight against Orioles in Miami has been cancelled. Team still in Philadelphia. Buh-buh-buh-buh-bah... Not loving it...
  16. mvp 78
    I would agree that the weird season is going to have some real negative affects. I don't agree that a big hit would drastically change the Red Sox because I think they were probably on the outside looking in even with expanded playoffs.
  17. mvp 78
    All players should just be masked up.
  18. mvp 78
    @craigcalcaterra I mean, two weeks in they started changing the standards as it was, calling their protocols "a living document." Given that there is no clear standard stated for a shutdown, they will never, unless absolutely forced, admit that one is warranted. I don't see the government stepping in to shut down the season. It's more likely the players walk out if ERod situations start appearing elsewhere.

    As we saw with the NBA bubble and players sneaking out, human nature will always bring too much risk. Does having everyone in one location actually make it worse when someone inevitably gets sick? Is the bubble life causing people to drop their guard around others also in the bubble? I think MLB is in a better position to play during a pandemic because there is less human contact. NBA/NHL/NFL all seem much riskier to me.
  20. mvp 78
    It all depends on what your definition of blowing up means. Also, with the unknown factor of how much baseball will be played, I doubt there will be any big trades.
  21. mvp 78
    I do not look forward to another 9 months on here without real baseball to talk about.
  22. mvp 78
    6.75 ERA. That's Martin Perezesque!
  23. mvp 78
    @Ken_Rosenthal Four Marlins learned they tested positive for COVID-19 in a span of three days. Two infectious disease experts say the positive results fit the definition of “a clear outbreak” with the club. So why did the Marlins play baseball on Sunday? Anyone think they'll get to August 31 at this rate?
  24. mvp 78
    The first two suggestions were not in jest though. If you want to move Bogey and Raffy, you need to find a trade partner that has a below average SS/3b. Get their mediocre MLB guy at that respective position and grab two decent arms. If you don't trade Raffy, you need to lock him up long term.

    Sox pay full salary years 1 - 10, LA pays 11 - 12.
