Baseball is back. New Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi joined his former colleagues at MLB Network Wednesday evening to discuss current events surrounding the team, as well as his thoughts on “spring training 2.0” and the upcoming season.
Managing not just players, but COVID-positive cases
When Girardi joined the Phillies this offseason after much of the last decade as the New York Yankees skipper, surely he had no idea that he would have to manage a pandemic affecting his players before making decisions in the dugout at Citizens Bank Park.
As of Tuesday, the Phillies announced that they have had seven players and five staff test positive for COVID-19.
