Last day of All-Star Break open thread

So, I was going to have the body of this post talk about how baseball is kind of back, with the Red Sox and Yankees squaring off tonight as the lone game on the slate... except now that game’s been postponed due to some kind of COVID-related issue, so it’s a full-on All-Star Break for everyone, I guess.

It’s actually somewhat amusing in retrospect: Yankees and Red Sox players complained that they were unfairly subjected to a shorter break because of the schedule forcing them to play today, while everyone else got four days of reprieve. Yet, here we are, with the Yankees having some sort of COVID-19 outbreak warranting a postponement, so everyone gets a break (kinda-sorta) after all.
