So a West bubble, central bubble, and east bubble?


Teams hosting and swapping who is the home field?


Arizona, San Diego, and L.A. for the West Coast Teams
Chicago, Cleveland, and Minnesota for the Central teams
New York, Philadelphia, and Florida for the East Coast?

Not that it really matters. Apparently cardinal players went to a casino and tomorrow is when we should get their wave of results. If they get positives like the marlins did this is getting shut down

He’s not free from blame here. The MLB seemingly had zero plan for what to do when some positive tests showed up.


They did have a plan. That was the whole point of expanded rosters. But now that positive tests are happening they’ve forgotten all about them and went mass hysteria.

Which is stupid, the whole point of having 60 players was because you knew they would have players catching this. I know now that it was more about teams wanting the development of certain players and never about what it was intended.
Shutting teams down when the majority are testing negative hurts the players who have to stop and start multiple times throughout the season

Reds-Tigers PPD (for weather, not COVID) and Trevor Bauer is not happy with the way things were handled.

I imagine he might turn around and rib up Correa with a heater.

If players are asymptomatic or testing negative they should be playing or at least waiting till a negative test while those who are eligible play

No way could MLB do a bubble, you have a 30 man squad and another 60 players training to be called up. 90 players per team plus coaches for all?


30/30... only 60 players max per team.

Red Sox Eduardo Rodriguez is out for the season, this is huge because he was very solid last year

Now no Sale, Price, or Rodriguez from the Sox from last year
