MLB commissioner Rob Manfred believes most players are listening to and following the league’s recommended coronavirus protocols. Manfred said players have “done a good job” adhering to those rules, and that the two outbreaks in the league occurred because teams deviated from the league’s protocol, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.
Manfred did not specify what led to coronavirus outbreaks on the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals, but he did say those teams strayed from the league’s recommendations.
"We believe, in the two serious outbreaks, that we can identify deviations from the protocols that resulted in the situations that we had," Manfred stated.
