The MLB season hinges on personal responsibility. The absence of a bubble means players, teams, and the league need to work together to ensure the season can progress. After about two weeks, its been an unmitigated failure. The Miami Marlins have already had a major outbreak, more than 20 games have been postponed, and the future of the season hangs in the balance.
Of course, this isnt all on the players. Commissioner Rob Manfred deserves a heaping helping of blame too for letting the season progress with scant few safeguards. The return to play plan was rushed, poorly implemented, and failed to account for a multitude of scenarios that were now seeing emerge.
The St. Louis Cardinals are the latest team to have an outbreak, and it poses another threat to the long-term viability of this baseball season.
It began on Friday with the Cardinals making an announcement.
