For superstar outfielder Christian Yelich, it was an “easy call” to play for the Milwaukee Brewers during the shortened 2020 MLB regular season. Yelich told reporters yesterday — including Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel — that he never really considered opting out in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, but with several players around the league making that decision, he says he can understand and support the guys choosing to sit out this summer:
“[G]uys are all in different boats and if you choose to opt out or if we ever had anybody that chose to opt out, then you would fully support that decision and understand where they were coming from.
