Coronavirus Already Factoring Heavily into Preseason Activities

While the confirmation of a 2020 season has already brought overwhelming excitement to the state of Major League Baseball, the coronavirus has caused about an equal amount of caution and hesitancy among most teams moving forward.

Making themselves available to the media for the first time since the reality of a season was announced, President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman and field skipper Dave Roberts on Thursday afternoon (via a Zoom Conference) spent most of their time addressing the precautionary measures the team will likely take in the weeks ahead.

With regards to the here and now, Friedman acknowledged that there have been some positive tests in the organization, although none exhibited any symptoms that were overly problematic.
