Eight Marlins Players, Two Coaches Test Positive For COVID-19; Tonight’s Game Canceled www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/07/eight-marlins-players-two-coaches-test-positive-for-covid-19-tonights-game-canceled.htmlI've thought from the time they announced a season that I'd give it about 2 weeks before cancellations begin and then eventually having the entire season cancelled. Looks like it's coming to fruition. Hard to get excited about a season that has a 50% or more chance of being stopped. I've heard talk that the Marlins are saying they got it playing the exhibitions in Atlanta. This is going to be a nightmare. What is the point of having all the reserves (60 available) if they're going to cancel games based on COVID-19 tests? I thought that was the point of the large roster. I got an idea. Next time we have to face deGrom just say 8 players tested positive and cancel the game!

Yup fully prepared for baseball to be canceled within the next 2 weeks. I suspect the Yankees will end up having players test postive next since they are playing in Philly tonight where the marlins just left. We are about to see a massive outbreak across MLB I'm afraid.

Yea...I never thought they'd really get in more than a couple of weeks. I hope I'm wrong but it doesn't look good. I'm thinking of not even getting the MLB package now. I could follow on bilasport.

I was watching the MLB network today and they were saying the Marlins were planning to bus from Philly to Baltimore with the hope of bringing up players from their complex in Jupiter, Florida so they can fill out their roster. The issue is that they are saying a lot of those players were in Atlanta for the exhibition games and that's where they think they contracted the virus. So those players will have to be tested before they can travel. In order to make this work they will have to test every player virtually every day...they don't have the testing capacity to do that. As far as the Yankees-Phillies go, I would think that would just be a one game deal because they were just making sure the visitors locker room was disinfected. They should be able to go tomorrow.

Looking forward to watching Dansby continue his MVP run tonight. Yeah that's right. Dansby Swanson will finish top 5 in MVP voting this year. You heard it here first.

David O'Brien @dobrienatl #Braves catchers Flowers and d'Arnaud still sick but doing better, Snitker said. Haven't tested positive; Snitker thinks they just had bad cold. Said there's a chance one could be available by Wednesday's home opener.
