MLB teams closing clubhouses due to Coronavirus

MLB Rumors: Clubhouses will be closed due to Coronavirus/COVID-19 concerns, according to Jeff Passan on Twitter, who says that MLB let teams know in a conference call today that they will be restricted media and other non-essential personnel from clubhouses.

This is on the heels of both the NHL and the NBA restricting access to locker rooms in an effort to stem the spread and proliferation of the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Passan says that media members will be able to talk to players outside the clubhouse, but will be asked to respect the six foot personal space rule that the CDC has recommended.
