Related Topics: Ron Washington, Atlanta Braves

Atlanta Braves third base coach Ron Washington quit smoking four months ago when Spring Training was shut down in March. He remains in the high-risk category for COVID-19 but is committed to doing whatever takes to remain healthy and in the dugout for the Braves this season.

“I feel good,” Washington said. “I know I’m one of the high-risk guys. But I trust the protocols MLB has in place, and I trust Ron Washington even more than the protocols of MLB. Sixty games? I can hide out for 60 games. If there’s another 20 or 25 or whatever it is for the playoffs, I’ll hide out for that also and then head home.
