The good news first: The rest of the COVID-19 tests taken by the Iowa Cubs staff came back negative on Friday, after one staff member tested positive this week.
The bad news: “A single positive test for us,” said Sam Bernabe, president and general manager of the Triple-A Iowa Cubs, “if I get another one, it’ll shut us down, period.”
The question of how many positive tests merits a shutdown is one that businesses across the country are facing, and one Major League Baseball may have to ask itself now that it has a plan to restart Spring Training next week.
