Steve9347 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Crazy. He’s been practicing with the team all week after coming back from COVID last Thursday. this could be an mlb back breaker. Edited July 23, 2020 by Steve9347 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Hombre Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 There’s no way they’d scrap the season on opening day right....... RIGHT?! Apparently he’s asymptotic and the rest of the team tested negative. Hopefully it’s just a false positive test for Soto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re just getting those results now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the nightmare scenario we all knew could happen.......and it may be happening before Opening Day. A player tested positive for COVID......and played the same night. That is a PROBLEM This is why depth is super important this year. Hopefully they were taking precautions in the clubhouse/on the field and nobody else retests positive. Selfishly, I just hope MLB doesn’t do anything drastic in response to this. We need sports back in this country! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 So, he went out and got himself around people between his last few tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Seems to me that there’s no way they should be playing tonight. What if the results come back Saturday and every Nats player has it (not realistic, I know)? The Orioles and Yankees would have to quarantine then as well.

Jack Parkman Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Apparently Soto tested positive a few weeks ago, came back with the team for a week or so and then tested positive again. This should not be news, as these things happen. He could be completely over it and non-contagious, but has virus fragments in his system that triggered a positive. This kind of stuff has been happening for months, it shouldn't be a surprise and MLB should have thought of this very situation in their return to play protocol. It's not a brand new positive so it's not as big of a deal as it would have been if it was. Edited July 23, 2020 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh shit, then that's a bigger deal than I thought. idk what happens now....this could kill the season. That would make it ~3 weeks from exposure to positive test.....that's not good.

Oh I get what you’re saying now, but are tests really supposed to come back that quickly? I guess I assumed there was always a lag effect and this would no doubt happen throughout the season, which is why masks and social distancing is of the utmost importance.

But it sounds like it’s been 48-72 hours, which is insane. In the real world, you’re supposed to quarantine if you’re in contact with a positive person. In this case, you’re right back on the field while waiting for results. Just seems idiotic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 It can be turned out more quickly if they're the top priority Or if MLB teams bought a bunch of those less sensitive but still good Abbott machines that give results in like 30 minutes.

Did he know he was exposed to someone with COVID? Maybe I don’t have all the facts here. I do agree 48 to 72 hours seems pretty crazy.
