As Marlins outbreak continues, Rockies exercise caution

It was only a handful of days into this shortened season when MLB was struck with a COVID outbreak. As each day passed during baseball’s Opening Weekend, more and more Marlins players were struck down with positive tests. The Rockies may be on the opposite side of the country, but that hasn’t stopped this as serving as a wake up call for them. The guys know this could happen to any team and shouldn’t be viewed as the problem of some other clubhouse.

“We’re concerned about our entire group, even when we get back to Denver, with special emphasis on the older guys who are part of our traveling party and part of our team,”

A noticeable shift has occurred in the short span since Opening Day as masks are becoming more and more prevalent on the field.
