Mike Trout admitted Friday that he and his wife, Jessica, discuss daily the possibility of him sitting out the 2020 season.
The couple is expecting their first baby in August, so it's understandable that Trout is wrestling with the decision. “I love playing this game. We want to play,” Trout said. “It’s going to come down to how safe we’re going to be. If there’s an outbreak, you definitely have to reconsider. There’s a lot of questions. I love baseball, but I have to do what’s right for my family. It’s going to be a tough decision if something happens down the road. I think the biggest thing is, these next few weeks, if I test positive, it’s my first child, and I have to be there. If I’m positive, doctors have told me I can’t see the baby for 14 days. Jess won’t see the baby for 14 days if she tests positive. We’re going to be upset.” It sounds like Trout is tentatively leaning toward playing as things stand right now but could change his mind depending on how things play out. Given his situation, you could hardly blame him for sitting out.

Years from now, when comparing players acorss generations, this season, and maybe next, will be factored into the "what if" convos, like great players who missed prime years due to WWII.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

In such a shortened season, that’s about as bad a fantasy disaster as you can get.---------------------------------------------
