With vaccine rollouts coming at a faster pace than ever and teams across sports starting to allow fans back into the building, it has begun to feel like we are moving into a post-COVID world. It’s important to remember we are not yet there, and the Red Sox got a reminder of that on Saturday. We learned Saturday morning that Matt Barnes has tested positive for COVID and will have to be away from the team for about 10 days.
This is still very much a developing situation in Red Sox camp and contract tracing is still taking place to see who is and is not available for the team right now.
