Red Sox Prospect from Taiwan Quarantined Over Coronavirus fears

The Boston Red Sox have quarantined a 20-year-old pitcher from Taiwan in a South Florida hotel room over fears about the coronavirus, a team spokesperson said.

... and it's the SECOND player the team has quarantined this month!

This time, the player is Chih-Jung Liu -- a rifle-armed right-hander who arrived in Florida last week to start his first spring training with the Red Sox, according to the Boston Globe.

The Sox signed Liu to a deal (with a $750k signing bonus) in late 2019, after he was clocked throwing a 98 mph fastball.
