Mike Rizzo didn’t hold back in the press release on the Washington Nationals’ decision to cancel their Spring Training 2.0 workouts on Monday morning.
Rizzo, the GM of 2019’s World Series champions, cited a 72-hour delay in getting COVID-19 test results and said clearly, “We cannot have our players and staff work at risk.”
“Therefore, we have cancelled our team workout scheduled for this morning,” Rizzo wrote.
“We will not sacrifice the health and safety of our players, staff and their families. Without accurate and timely testing it is simply not safe for us to continue with Summer Camp.
