Around Baseball 2020

How is that possible to have alternating positive tests, then negative, then positive and negative. The tests are highly accurate if administered properly. This could be a break down in testing more than anything. One of the Marlins players who tested positive has now tested negative. If there are issues with the lab they are sending samples to or the people administering tests they need to get that fixed.

That's pretty embarrassing. This kind of f*** up is a fireable offence.

That was my thoughts. What a s*** show.

You would think they would have had a plan for the worst case Marlins scenario. 15 players although one has tested negative after having tested positive. The team itself just can't give up and take the league down. There are a ton of unsigned free agents. Kendrys Morales could probably DH tomorrow if called upon. Sign 3 or 4 vets, dig into your 60 man pool and field a roster. I'm pretty sure I read an article about some unsigned MLB players working out in anticipation of an opportunity. That opportunity has arisen.

If this happens to a team like the Yankees Manfred would be singing a different tune than lets continue, no on cares about the marlins. I reallt hope they move every sports team from Florida soon

I saw the Marlins claimed Justin Shafer yesterday. He must be thrilled.

How the f*** does this work? You can't just not show up for games.

I think Miami would go there.... I think... Or are they saying they don't want to be around the Marlins??

No clue

This is the result of no leadership from the league.

They could just play the game in Washington, unless they are voting against playing the Marlins, which would be dumb.

[philly30]

And the phillies next game will be on the road at home against Toronto because Buffalo is not ready and this is just week one of this disaster

[Terminator]

They just need to get as many games in as they can. Do their best to get each team to get at least 50 games and just go off of win percentage.

[Terminator]

Maybe the Jays can just stay in Washington and keep playing the Nats since their opponents were going to be the Marlins and Phillies.

Juan Soto has tested negative 6 times, and positive once. He is asymptomatic. He remains ineligible to play.

 

The positive result was probably a false positive.

I am confused, you need 2 negative tests to be cleared, if you have 6 negatives and 1 positive how do you not have 2 negative back to back?

This definitely isn't accurate.

How does a man literally spend decades reporting on baseball for a living and still not know anything about baseball?

[Jimcanuck]

The have to be MLB sanctioned tests. Three of the negatives are MLB sanctioned results. I can only assume two of them are from before the 1 positive result.

6 negatives. 3 of which are not MLB sanctioned, sure.

 

So 3 negative tests and one positive result. Explain to me a combination where those 4 test results did not result in at least one back to back negative? Obviously, he's tested positive more than one time, somehow.

I already explained it. Remember, Soto went into quarantine when he arrived from the Dominican.

NGL I had no idea who Miguel Rojas was before this.

I'm glad to see they're taking every preventative measure possible to ensure this virus doesn't work its way further into the rest of the league. This is the right call during a global pandemic. We cannot be risking lives of innocent people just because Juan Soto has tested negative.

NFL I had no idea who Miguel Rojas was before this.

 

3 game breakout star NL MVP frontrunner Miguel Rojas, 31 year old heart and soul of the Miami Marlins with 466 wRC+.

Certainly the Marlins situation shows what MLB has put in place is not necessarily sufficient. As with anything new and particularly as complicated as this situation, there are going to be excesses on both ends of the spectrum, too cautious in some areas, too lax in others.

MLB Front Office is an absolute embarrassment.
