What are the odds we actually see the Mets, or any team, for that matter, take the field this season? With each positive MLB coronavirus test, those odds keep going down.
Reports say some 40 players and staff have tested positive. And if recent history has proven anything, those numbers can only go up (obviously, the MLB world is not the same as the rest of the outside world, but once the virus gets in, it is difficult, if not downright impossible, to contain). The MLBPA has delayed its vote on whether or not to accept the owners’ proposal to play a truncated season, in part over the uncertainty over the test results.
