The White Sox released a statement yesterday about their mandate for minor league players to show proof of their booster immunization, despite baseball not requiring minor leaguers to get vaccinated:
“The Chicago White Sox are requiring all of our employees to be up to date on their Covid-19 vaccination status, and this requirement extends to our minor-league players as well. We believe this is the right thing to do to protect the health and well being of all of our players and staff across the organization.”
This policy comes as no surprise, as the White Sox were one of the first teams to reach the 85% vaccination threshold to relax their Covid policies during the 2021 season (it was reported, in fact, that the White Sox hit 90% immediately).
