Monday morning brought a slew of new reports that eight additional players and two coaches have tested positive, leading to a cancellation of the team’s flight back to Miami and its home opener against the Orioles.

It’s not as though something like this is totally unexpected, especially for a team from Florida, but the main question is why Sunday’s game was allowed to take place at all given the number of positive tests.
