CLEARWATER, Fla. — Bryce Harper, one of baseball’s biggest stars, kept inching closer to reporters while chatting in a tunnel at Spectrum Field here on Tuesday.
On a normal day, the interview would have been held at Harper’s locker in the Philadelphia Phillies’ spring training clubhouse. But on Tuesday a Phillies public relations official instructed Harper and a handful of media members to remain six feet apart from each other, in accordance with new leaguewide regulations put in place over concerns about the novel coronavirus during baseball’s preseason — and perhaps beyond.
