Although we are gearing up for the start of a “normal” 162-game regular season, and multiple vaccines are rapidly becoming more and more available to the general public, the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing in the United States and Major League Baseball is not immune to it. The Washington Nationals will be without five of their players, now quarantining after one positive COVID-19 test that included four close contacts on a chartered flight. Locally, our Milwaukee Brewers had their own COVID-19 scare earlier today on the eve of Opening Day, with a false positivest throwing the team for a bit of a loop.
