About as specific as we can get for now on the Mets' Covid-19 positives: I'm told it was a position player and coach.

The Mets are flying back to New York tonight “with recommenced safety precautions in place and conduct testing with the entire traveling party,” per a statement.

I mean at this point are we talking arm distance from the bench and locker room stalls? The entire team has been near each other without masks.

One thing I also just thought about: Marcus Stroman was concerned about making that Miami trip. During a press conference announcing his opt-out, he mentioned that as a concern.

— Justin Toscano (@JustinCToscano) August 20, 2020

remember when Marcus Stroman specifically cited this road trip as one of the reasons he opted out

remember the hit job on Yoenis Céspedes for opting out

remember the not so subtle insinuations that it wasn’t about COVID

Here's another scary thing: By all accounts the Mets have been as buttoned up as anyone about protocols, from the top down.

Seth Lugo is the ninth player to start a game for the Mets this year, which matches the total number of starters the Mets used in 2019.

The franchise record for starters used in a season is 20 – set by the 1967 Mets.
