President Donald Trump has apparently consulted with MLB legend Alex Rodriguez during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to ABC News' John Santucci and Katherine Faulders.

According to CNN, the United States has more than 100,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, the highest of any country. At least 590,000 cases have been diagnosed worldwide. Doctors reported 402 deaths related to the disease on Friday alone in the U.S., a single-day high so far, per CNN.

New York City, where Rodriguez spent 12 seasons with the New York Yankees, has been hit especially hard.
