Edit to clarify: My understanding is that the other players (the contacts of the person who tested positive) can continue to play while waiting for test results to come back. All of this is still evolving and being clarified day to day.Last edited by Kevin Seitzer; 06-25-2020, 10:49 AM."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

It's just baffling to me that as more and more players and staff test positive, as cases across the US surge there are some teams/cities who are planning to allow fans in to watch games.
The people making these decisions should be forced to live with a Covid Positive person for a week or so, since they seem to be willing to gamble with the health of others--why not start with themselves.

According to SNY's Andy Martino, one team having to drop out of MLB's planned 60-game season due to a COVID-19 outbreak would not necessarily result in a league-wide cancellation.
Martino obtained new language that was added to the March 26 agreement on Tuesday, and it outlines commissioner Rob Manfred's authority to cancel or suspend events as Major League Baseball attempts to stage a season amid a pandemic. The scenarios that would result in a possible cancelation or suspension: further travel restrictions being imposed, a "material change in circumstances" that would bring about "an unreasonable health and safety risk," and/or the number of diagnoses among the league ranks reaching a level where "the competitive integrity of the season is undermined." That last part is open to some interpretation. For now, MLB is planning to open spring training 2.0 on July 1 and begin a 60-game campaign on July 23-24.

Originally posted by cool hand View PostContemplating this. My league has not drafted yet, and we are convening on Friday via Zoom to determine what the course of action will be, and whether or not we'll hold a live auction. Curious to hear other league's solutions. I think the greatest likelihood is that we will just play '20 out like a normal season, with some minor rules tweaks.
Our league traditionally waits until Opening Day for live auction, so we didnt get caught in the quagmire of having to back up a freeze/draft. We didnt even make it to roster freeze day.One league, 28 years, 9 championships. AL 4X4
Current Lineup:
Ohoppe 2 Jeffers 5 JRamirez 39 Vaughn 16 WFranco 15 Semien 26 Lowe 5 Rengifo 6 R Lewis 10 Alvarez 39 Carpenter 10 P Lopez 6 G Rodriguez 5 Ragans 5 Holmes 10 JDuran 10

My leagues are playing, with some one-season rules tweaks, such as increasing the number of IL slots, pro-rating the IP and AB/PA requirements, and changing the trade deadline. Some are increasing the frequency of lineup changes from weekly to semi-weekly or daily. Whether contracts will toll by a year remains to be seen.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

One of my leagues just had a "GoToMeeting" conference to discuss our season and we're doing a 1-year-only, non-keeper snake draft. All major issues were ironed out (we think), only took 1 hour and we set our online draft date. My other league had planned a similar thing but we havent resumed discussion yet.

Just read this on Rotoworld--
"Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports that the Blue Jays have received an exemption letter from the federal government and will be allowed to move their training camp to Toronto.
The Jays had been hopeful of getting clearance to move spring training 2.0 from Florida to Toronto and now they've received it. It's not clear yet whether they'll be allowed to play regular season games at Rogers Centre, but that's the goal."Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
