Many Miami Marlins players test positive for COVID-19, MLB season possibly in jeopardy?

The MLB season just started back up, but could the season already be in jeopardy? At least 13 players from the Miami Marlins organization have tested positive for the corona virus. The Miami Marlins against the Baltimore Orioles was postponed due to the player’s coronavirus outbreak.

The Miami Marlins were coming off a great road trip against the Philadelphia Phillies winning two of three games on the road. After returning from the road trip, many players got tested and there was a lot of results that came back positive. After the news was revealed, they postponed the game and they also postponed the game with the New York Yankees vs the Philadelphia Phillies to avoid the spread.

My Thoughts

This is not good for MLB fans.

This is the news you did not want to hear if you are a baseball fan. After all this drama with the MLBPA and the MLB with wanting to get back on the field, now there is an uncertain future of the league possibly continuing.

I am really not sure what is going to happen, and I don’t know how this is going to work. My guess is the MLB will continue the season, but the organization is just going to be playing without the players for awhile. It is really hard the tell, and it leaves many people concerned about this.

They should’ve had the teams just played their games at a location like the NBA and WNBA is doing. Like all the NL teams out at a West location and all the AL teams out at an East location. I think it would’ve worked a lot better that the players can stay at a bubble, get tested every day, and can still play their season. With all the traveling and players going out to places in the cities, you could get the virus from anywhere.

With this player outbreak, it doesn’t look good for fall sports for high school and college athletes. This is going to make people more concerned about wanting to have a season after seeing many players get the virus. I will be curious to see how this pans out, but I am hoping that their will still be a season, and that the spread doesn’t get worse.
