News of a coronavirus outbreak among the Miami Marlins put players and staffers across Major League Baseball on high alert, with many expressing concern and a level of fear not typically associated with professional athletics.
The Washington Nationals are scheduled to visit Miami – one of the country’s biggest COVID-19 hot spots – next weekend, and manager Dave Martinez hopes that the league “does the right thing” and does not compel his team to travel there.
Martinez has plenty of cause for concern: He missed three games in September 2019 after undergoing a cardiac catheterization, and became emotional during a video call with reporters Monday.
«I’m going to be honest with you, I’m scared,” said Martinez, who says he washes his hands “99 times a day” and expressed worry for the many friends he has on the Marlins.
