WASHINGTON – Giants players are asking questions and club officials are taking precautions in preparation for their arrival Sunday night in Miami – the first time a major league team will travel to South Florida since the Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued an unprecedented domestic travel warning for Miami in response to the spread of the Zika virus.
“It’s a concern,” said Giants catcher Buster Posey, who sought information from team doctor Ken Akizuki. “I haven’t talked to too many of the guys, but I wanted to get Dr. Akizuki’s take. It’s a legitimate concern, especially for the guys who have wives who are pregnant or plan to be in the future.
