CINCINNATI – It’s only been six days, yet baseball seems to be at a critical point in its season after the Miami Marlins became the league’s first team to be hit by a coronavirus outbreak. With two games already canceled and more coming this week, Monday’s news was a sobering reminder of the dangers of playing through a pandemic.
It comes as a wake-up for all 30 clubs, including the Cubs, who are in Cincinnati for their first road trip this season.
“It re-heightens your awareness and continues to create a focus of going through the protocols,” manager David Ross said.
