Hello and happy August everyone.
Baseball has been hanging precariously for months. It was suspended in March, argued about for three months, planned for a month, and now has been in action for over a week. And it always felt like it was on the brink of going away.
That’s as true now as ever. On Friday, ESPN reported that commissioner Rob Manfred has warned the Players Association that the season could be canceled if they don’t ramp up their coronavirus precautions. This comes on the heels of 21 members of the Miami Marlins organization testing positive for the virus, and numerous games getting postponed across the league.
