Some Os players will miss the Toronto series

[Sports Guy]

Due to the COVID rules in Canada and some of the Os players not vaccinated, some players will not be able to make the trip.

Akin is likely one.  An interesting one is probably Santander, who I believe was on the list last year.  Does Stowers get the call for the weekend series?

The Os will certainly need some guys up.  Apparently it will be multiple players,

Good on them in my opinion. Canada sucks anyway.

Love my O’s, but why wouldn’t these players not get the vaccine unless it’s health related?

I don’t think we need to go down that road in this thread.  
 

Just  more of who gets brought up and how many spots will we have to fill?

It would be a little more controversial if a playoff team couldn't bring their #1 pitcher or star hitter to Toronto in a playoff game. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Just a minor correction, it's not the "weekend" series, it's next week.  @KC this weekend.

I blame social media.

Remember that old saying about opening your mouth and leaving no doubt.

I'm warning everyone now to not make this political.

Would love to see Stowers get a cup of coffee if Santander has to miss the series.

This is not just about this series.   The O's play 10 games in Toronto this year.  That's 10 games without certain players.    That is pretty significant.

And what do the O's have to do?  Do they have to option these players for 10 days.   What if they have no options?

The O's are not the only team that is dealing with this.  What are other teams doing about it?

I think most of them have rosters with players that are able to play in Canada.

For instance the Yankees didn't have this problem.

It's been case-by-case. Boston had two pitchers put on the restricted list, Minnesota had to replace four players (including Max Kepler), while the Yankees took a more practical solution and had their couple holdouts get vaccinated shortly before the trip, so they played with their roster intact.

Thanks.  Sounds like its up to the O's to set a policy for the team.

What regulations does MLB have in place?  Like, do these guys just go on a "restricted" list for a few days, then can re-join the team?

Yea I think they have a special COVID restricted list.
