The latest MLB news revolves around the Miami Marlins, which is dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak that could endanger the pro baseball season, said Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday, as the number of their players testing positive rose to 15.
For now, the MLB has postponed all of the Marlins’ games through Sunday.
The outbreak raised new questions about the MLB’s attempts to conduct a season outside of bubble environment, which the NFL also has opted not to create for its season.
“This could put it in danger,” Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said of the outbreak in a recent report. “I don’t believe they need to stop, but we just need to follow this and see what happens with other teams on a day-by-day basis.”
Regardless of what the future holds for the Marlins, it’s strange to see all this baseball being played in masks and empty stadiums -- necessary, it seems, but still a touch eerie and surreal. Check out the following 21 photos to get a glimpse inside the parks over the past week or so.
