Mack - The Virus: I have some questions.


Hey!

I got questions.

Why is all of baseball refusing to guarantee that all minor leaguers are paid through this while, at the same time, the NFL is throwing silly money at free agents?

I can not seem to align the draft with a baseball season that looks like it will not start up until, the earliest, June. How would this work?

Are they going to name a national champion in college baseball this year?

Teams are returning the spring training golf carts to the companies they rented them from. Thinking of golf and the six feet of separation that we now have been told to adhere to, does that mean golf foursomes have been shelved as well?

Teams are allowed to sign International players but they are not allowed to scout them. How does this work?

Why do baseball players wear belts?

The Mets reopened their exercise room in the spring camp for any player that wants to stop by and do free weights. How many are allowed in the room the same time?

A follow up question...what type of cleaning ritual do the weights and bars get between users? After all, if an infected player touches the equipment...

This is a brutal thing for the teams. Might cancel this year’s draft and international altogether. But the teams all ought to pay the minor leaguers something. Problem is, many may have been jettisoned at the end of spring training.

At most gyms, anyone using equipment is supposed to wipe it down with disinfectant before moving away.

There's no reason why players shouldn't do the same.
