We promise we’re not trying to break your heart ... but here’s what Davey Martinez said to reporters on Saturday about how Juan Soto spent the night on Opening Day, after the 21-year-old Washington Nationals’ outfielder tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to return to quarantine a week-plus after he returned from a two-week quarantine after he’d come in contact with someone who’d tested positive upon returning to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic.
“Apparently ... he was standing in front of the TV with a bat during the game, taking pitches,” Martinez said, painting a sad picture of Soto on Opening Day.
