MLB agent Scott Boras told Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports and The Athletic on Saturday that, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he has arranged for his clients to travel via private jet to their new locations if they are dealt before the Aug. 31 trade deadline.
"So that deadline deals are not impacted by COVID, I am letting all owners know if any of our players are traded and asked to leave their existing teams' protocols, we have arranged a private jet protocol to allow players to be safely transported (between clubs)," Boras told Rosenthal, who tweeted out the response and read it on air during the New York Yankees' 11-5 win over the Boston Red Sox.
