Marlins ( and now Phillies) season(s) on pause, O's to host Yankees on Wednesday and Thursday

[Fuzzball22]

it seems to me that cancelled is different from postponed. Usually when a game is rained out it is postponed. The fact that they say this game is cancelled makes me unsure how it will be handled.

They may end up bringing up their taxi squad.  The Marlins team can’t play for a while, so either they don’t play for a few weeks or you bring those players up.

Yeah I don’t see why they don’t bring up mostly their taxi squad and play tomorrow.

...so 12 players on one team are out for a minimum of two weeks and then have to test negative twice over 2 or 3 days, is that correct?  So that team is basically playing exhibition type games for 2 weeks if playing at all.  5 or 6 series in jeopardy.

• The whole hotel where the Marlins was staying at, at to be impact.
• The Yankees are not thrilled to be using the visiting club house in Philly.
• The Marlins claim they were strictly following all health guidelines.

Once the dust settles it could be a really interesting case for some techs at CDC to look at.

Because the taxi squad is 3 players.

12 players will be headed to the COVID IL. 

Hence, you now have 40-man issues trying to replace all these guys.

How does Philly play with their team in lockdown?

How does the Yankees suit up and play, as they dont want to be in that clubhouse?

Its a domino effect across MLB.

I don’t think the minimum of two weeks is correct.  Though i’ve heard contradictions to this.  They need two consecutive negative tests 24 hours apart.

Then get working on the roster crunch and move on with it.

Doesn’t every team have 60 players for this reason? Only 30 were with the team now. Bring up the other 30.

I think it just shows you how easy these droplets spread.

Clubhouse the Marlins used in Philly is locked down for now. Visiting Clubhouse staff in Philly is locked down too. Yankees brought own staff.

Did Marlins do their summer camp at their home ballpark? That thing should be shut down completely. Most likely the team brought it up to Philly. Best case scenario would be remaining players plus fill ins from the taxi squad start playing road games only in a few days? What a mess!

Easy for you to say. There are service time considerations at play, and you would have to DFA players and expose them to waivers. They obviously do not have the flexibility to DFA upwards of 10 people, many of whom are qualified major leaguers they want to keep. No team does. Use your noggin, champ.

Does anyone know if it's too late for players to opt out? Wouldn't be surprised if some were changing their mind right now especially if they were on the fence. Of course you might just wait and see what happens since there is greater than zero possibility the season falls apart in the next week.
