MLB is facing increasing scrutiny from public health officials because of the recent outbreak of positive COVID-19 tests.
PHOENIX — Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred, believing the recent outbreak of positive COVID-19 tests was caused by players failing to adhere to health and safety protocols, warned union chief Tony Clark on Friday that the season could be shut down unless players start showing more discipline.
The team is currently under investigation by MLB for violating the protocols, with two officials telling USA TODAY Sports they uncovered evidence that several Miami players blatantly ignored protocols during their two-game exhibition series in Atlanta. “It’s definitely in a lot of guys’ minds,’’ Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo said, “we all want to play. It’s a little nerve-racking. We say the most normal thing about the day is when we actually play baseball.’’
And as the Marlins proved, one team alone is capable of wreaking havoc on the schedule and endangering the entire season. The Cubs remain one of only two teams in MLB that has not had a player or staff member test positive since the resumption of spring training.
