Amidst Marlins coronavirus outbreak, the Yankees shouldn’t be playing tonight

It was never going to work. I just thought it would have lasted longer than four days.

Yesterday, reports surfaced that four Marlins players tested positive for COVID-19, including Harold Ramirez, Garrett Cooper, and Jose Urena, all members of the active roster. Instead of postponing or forfeiting their game against the Phillies, the club rallied together and played ball, pandemic be damned.

That turned out to be an exceptionally stupid idea, as Jeff Passan reported this morning that eight (EIGHT!) additional players and two coaches on the Marlins have tested positive for the coronavirus.
