I was working on a fun article about former Cardinal players in the various major league camps when news started to come over the wire about confirmed positive COVID cases involving the Cardinal club.
Reports had come out as early as June 21st that between June 14th and June 21st that 40 people (either players or staff) has tested positive for COVID since the first spring training closed. There were ten teams that had been known to be affected. Yesterday, MLB and MLBPA issued a joint statement that 31 players and 7 staff members had tested positive and that 19 clubs were affected.
