There will be no lounging in the clubhouse. Players can’t come earlier than five hours before game time. There’s no buffet, only pre-packaged food. And no showers.
Players then must be quarantine for 24 to 48 hours awaiting the test results. And as long as they’ll be sitting around during their quarantine, they’ll be required to complete a COVID-19 educational course before they can begin workouts.Players won’t even have the same lockers. Maybe not even the same locker room.
When players walk onto the field, they must stay six feet away from everyone. That means your teammates, coaches and opponents. The fraternization rule that has been ignored for decades now will be strictly enforced. Sorry, pitchers, don’t even think about licking your fingers. They can carry a wet rag in their pocket, but no licking.Don’t like the Houston Astros? Still carry a grudge against the Boston Red Sox? Don’t even think about starting a brawl unless you want to sit out nearly one-third of the season.
If a player even has close contact with anyone showing symptoms, they must be given expedited tests. If they test positive, they are immediately quarantined, and can’t return until testing negative twice, at least 24 hours apart, with no fever for at least 72 hours.
