As Major League Baseball navigates the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and explores means to begin a 2020 regular season, much of the discussion centers around player safety and other health protocols.
MLB recently submitted a 67-page document to the Players Association that outlined measures and changes to be taken in effort to prevent the spread of the contagious virus. It called for grouping players, front office personnel, stadium employees and others into tiers, and the elimination of spitting, eating sunflower seeds and high-fiving, among other changes.
“I guess it’s doable,” answered Clayton Kershaw when asked about the proposed protocols during the fourth Dodgers Zoom Party.
