General manager David Forst said no A’s player has opted out of the upcoming 2020 baseball season. He doesn’t, at this stage, expect someone to do so as a handful have across Major League Baseball over off-field concerns or the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
He also said the A’s are full healthy entering Saturday’s start of a three-week summer training camp.
While MLB announced results of COVID-19 testing on Friday, the A’s initial wave of testing remains incomplete.
Forst hopes that doesn’t lead to counting bodies to see if the A’s have positive COVID-19 tests in their player pool scheduled to train at Oakland Coliseum.
