Nationals Juan Soto positive for Covid-19.

This potentially means the entire active roster could be quarantined.

1. Dr. Fauci is supposed to throw out the first pitch in 4 1/2 hours

Great.

2. The Royals have eight players who have tested positive.

Not sure why one on the Nationals would shut them down. KC has 3 percent of the league's players and 11 percent of its COVID cases, and it played three exhibition games this week with that knowledge.

3. Because Soto has been with the team for the last 5 days or so.

4. Hunter Dozier played Monday and Tuesday

with the rest of the team, was tested after as positive, then the rest of the team went on to St. Louis, where they played a game yesterday. They're all headed to Cleveland for Friday's opener. Again, why is DC different?

5. Quarantine.

6. I'm not following.

I agree if you're saying the teams SHOULD quarantine. It has been one hit after another for the Royals. But if you're saying that baseball requires a quarantine for one positive test, Kansas City's experience does not bear that out. Unless you're saying that Missouri and DC as governmental entities have different policies. That I don't know.

7. Never said anything about require.

Just being prudent.

8. I see.

Thank you. If you play, beat the Yanks.

I don't know the timing of Dozier's test, the results finding, and the team's travel to St. Louis and Cleveland. Could be the same.

9. The Yanks have already been anointed the greatest team in history.

And if they win with these 60 practice games it will stick, sadly.

10. Most recent World Series titles

Washington Nationals 2019
Kansas City Royals 2015
New York Yankees 2009

Yankees suck. And so do the Red Sox.
