During a shortened season that has seen the Mariners play stretches of 20 games in a row, an unexpected three days off in a row was probably met with some low-key joy by many Mariners players. Yes, the circumstances were not ideal, as we later found that Oakland Athletics pitcher Daniel Mengden was the player who had tested positive for COVID-19, leading to the 3-game series in Seattle between the A’s and Mariners being postponed and rescheduled for the end of season.
Still, I can’t imagine too many players were complaining about a few days of rest, especially those who were able to go be with their families and spouses.
