What MLB DOESN'T need are massive outbreaks centered on their ball games. No fans in the stands? OK, but that still puts players, staff and support at risk. If only one big name player contracts Covid and crashes, it will be a public relations disaster and a moral debacle of biblical proportions. Ain't happening, turtle boy. I figure MLB will sit this one out until Donnie's federal government gets it's head out of its collective ass and does what's necessary to control this outbreak.
