As MLB Season Appears To Be On, Phillies Dealing With More Players & Staffers Testing Positive For COVID-19

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Another Phillies player and two staff members have tested positive for COVID-19 at the team’s spring training facility in Clearwater. Additionally, a second player tested positive outside of the facility.

So that makes seven players and five staffers who have tested positive.

Meanwhile, it looks like we will have a baseball season.

On Monday, the MLB Players Association rejected the owner’s final offer to play this year.

However, Phillies fans will likely still see baseball from afar.

The owners and commissioner Rob Manfred appear prepared to get the season underway which, according to the collective bargaining agreement, they can implement.
