CINCINNATI – It’s been a trying week across baseball as news of the Miami Marlins coronavirus outbreak and subsequent postponements have been felt around the league. As the Cubs have spent their first week on the road in Cincinnati, those things have hit home for outfielder Steven Souza Jr..
He has been keeping his eyes and ears open on the topic for a variety of reasons – not only as a baseball player attempting to play through a global pandemic but also as someone with a loved one trying to save lives. Souza Jr.’s sister-in-law, Morgan Peckman, is a member of the coronavirus unit at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix.
