With regards to the Soto news, why aren't there more stringent guidelines regarding distancing between players on the same team? I get that it is very hard to do, but this seems like the best way to mitigate risk. Or else teams are risking a huge outbreak and subsequent disaster when they face an opponent

If mlb just wants endless tacky media events why not make it a 17-team playoff and the extra team is made up entirely of dogs?
