Giants' Jeff Samardzija: MLB Owners Not Afraid to Put People at Risk for Money

San Francisco Giants pitcher Jeff Samardzija took a shot at MLB owners Friday when asked about the possibility of playing games this season without fans in attendance.

According to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic, Samardzija said: "I wouldn't put the carriage before the horse. I think we've seen from the owners they're not afraid to put anyone at risk, especially if it makes them money."

The 2020 MLB season is set to start July 23 amid the coronavirus pandemic with each team playing a 60-game schedule. No final decision has been made regarding whether any or all teams will be allowed to have fans in the stands for games.
