The same day that the Philadelphia Phillies closed their training facility in Clearwater, Fla., following the positive coronavirus test results of five players and three staff members, Major League Baseball is now reportedly closing all spring training sites in Arizona and Florida.
The news was first reported by Bob Nightengale of USA Today, and later confirmed by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
It reportedly wasn't just the Phillies who had infected players, either. Prior to the league's decision, the Toronto Blue Jays also closed down their team facilities in Dunedin, Fla.
