MLB vs. COVID

[Voice of Reason]

MLB and the players association are putting new guidelines in to try and stop these virus outbreaks. The Cardinals are the latest team that has missed a week of games because of a virus outbreak. MLB is getting more strict on mask wearing in dugouts and the clubhouse, more social distancing in stadiums, smaller staff sizes in traveling groups, and stricter rules on leaving hotel rooms. You get one written warning. A second violation and the player can be suspended for the rest of the season.

Who's doing the monitoring?  I can't imagine any scenario under the sun where a team is going to self-report on one of their own, especially if that player is an important one.

A player who tests positive will have a lot of explaining to do. The virus will do the monitoring.
