Red Sox coach Jason Varitek tests positive for COVID-19

Later last night I saw some news hit the wire that really felt like it belonged in 2020 considering how this year has progressed. Former Boston Red Sox catcher and newly appointed Game-Planning Coordinator Jason Varitek has tested positive for COVID-19, per his wife Catherine. The Captain is doing well and has self-isolated in order to not get anyone else sick with the virus.
