Baseball remains on an indefinite hiatus but players can still get their competitive juices flowing in the virtual world. We can’t watch the Boston Red Sox play ball but we can play as them in video games, an opportunity that the players themselves plan to take advantage of during this period of mass quarantine.
ESPN’s Joon Lee reports that the MLB Players Association is teaming with Sony to launch the first MLB The Show league featuring players from all 30 teams.
Left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez will represent the Red Sox. Some of the other notable participants include Tampa Bay Rays starter Blake Snell, Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader and Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto.
