It will take more than COVID-19 to slow down the Miami Marlins in 2020.

When we last saw the Miami Marlins play a game of regular season baseball, they had left the field with a 2-1 record and a share of the National League East lead.

Since then, they’ve lost 19 players to COVID-19, that’s 18 players who tested positive, plus Isan Diaz, who opted out of the season.
