Dozens of team employees across Major League Baseball have been entrusted to carry out the critical task of contact tracing, a pillar of the league’s plan to operate a 60-game season.

Florida reported a record number of deaths for the third consecutive day. ABC's Andrea Fujii reports.

Rodríguez spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday, three days before it was revealed that two Cardinals players tested positive for the coronavirus, leading to the postponement of Friday's scheduled game in Milwaukee. “The main requirement is attention to detail,” said Bryan Seeley, senior vice president and deputy general counsel for investigations, compliance and security at MLB, whose department oversees the program.

Rodríguez found that trust was critical. If players are worried teams will punish them for potential protocol violations, they might not be forthcoming about every interaction they've had, creating troubling gaps in the tracing. “Those are the sort of questions I was able to raise that were helpful," he added. “I definitely got some answers.”

Asked whether MLB might be improperly creating extra work for strained health departments by not extending their contact tracing beyond team personnel — say, for example, to a worker at the team hotel — Gurley said it would be “inappropriate” for the league to question members of the public.

RT A reminder of sorts - When WH National Security advisor got tested as positive, fellow staffers only found out via the news. This suggests ZERO WH contact tracing!

Looks like carma has come around to the coward’s who have disrespected the majority of Americans.

If you just go ahead and cancel all the “sports ball” games and stuff I promise that no one will die from lack of sports. I know some guys won’t have a damn thing to talk about otherwise, but maybe they could read a fucking book or something. You can not die from a lack of sports

MLB should have gone with the bubble concept like the NBA did.
