Marlins game cancelled, too many players with covid

[Thunder]

Hot damn. Could test negative for 2 weeks.

Can you still transmit it in that time?

I heard that the Yanks-Phillies game has been cancelled for a second night in a row, but I am not seeing confirmation of this on MLB site.

I watched that news break on Get Up this morning

Yankees were told the decision to postpone tonight’s game was based on abundance of caution. There was no indication given that any Phillies players had tested positive.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Marlins have had four more players test positive for COVID-19.
This brings the total to 17 individuals with the Marlins, including 15 players and two coaches. The Marlins remain in Philadelphia for the time being as the first two games of their series against the Orioles in Miami have been postponed. The hope is that the club will be able to resume play in Baltimore on Wednesday, but filling out a roster with major league-caliber talent could be a challenge, calling competitive integrity into question. It could also be irresponsible. The most important thing is the health of the players and anyone they might have come into contact with, but this is a nightmare scenario for the Marlins. And remember, we're not even a week into the season.

Wasn't that the purpose of the 60 man player pool though? If the Marlins can't replace the guys that went down, what are they doing with the other 30 guys in the pool?

I get that you have service time issues or whatever, but it was up to the team to make sure there were suitable replacements for the entire roster.

If the Marlins can't go, they need to forfeit.

I'll take wins for the Red Sox any way I can get them. But then the Orioles would be 6-1

We'd only be 4-3. We'll never catch them.
