The season is beginning, and so are the COVID-19 issues.
According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the opening day game between the New York Mets and the Washington Nationals is being postponed due to COVID-19.
The Nationals announced on Wednesday that one of their players tested positive for COVID-19, and four players and a staff member were considered close contacts. According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, it’s possible that there could be at least one more positive test on the team, which could be why the game is being postponed.
