 | Red light in MLB after the COVID-19 boom in Miami Marlins28-07-2020 |
Only five days after the start of the four-month postponed season at the MLB, the biggest worries related to the holding of the championship began to come true. Late last night, it became clear that at least 11 Miami Marlins players and two coaches tested positive for coronavirus, leading to a postponement of three games on Monday and Tuesday. The Marlins` home games against Baltimore Oriols, scheduled for yesterday and today, will not take place on schedule. Last night`s match between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees was also postponed, as the `Philites` were Miami`s previous rivals and the two teams played three games between them from Friday to Sunday. `I wouldn`t put this in the nightmare category, ` Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred tried to calm things down. `It`s not a good thing, but I don`t think it`s a nightmare. That`s why we have expanded squads. That`s why we`reprovide for an additional list of available players. `
Asked what needs to happen to stop the league for at least some time, Manfred replied: `If a team loses a lot of players and becomes completely uncompetitive, that will be something we need to look at. `attention, and we will have to think about change. Our first concern is the health of the players and their families. As well as making sure that we do everything possible to minimize the spread of the virus among our employees. `
The baseball commissioner saidconfidence that the rapid boom of COVID-19 in Miami will not prevent the further organization of the championship. `I remain optimistic that our protocols are reliable enough and will allow us to continue to play even with such a jump in the infected and to finish our season, ` said Manfred.
