Major League Baseball's Department of Investigations is expected to finish a report on the origins of the Marlins' COVID-19 outbreak in the next two days, according to Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci.
While MLB has no definitive answer as of Friday afternoon regarding the initial origin, Verducci reports that a source familiar with the investigation characterized the initial information as leading to “clearly a breakdown with adherence to the health and safety protocols away from the ballpark.”
MLB is working with the assistance of contact tracers for its investigation.
In the last week, 18 Marlins players and two coaches have tested positive for the coronavirus.
