Rob Manfred Reportedly Threatening To Shut Down MLB Season Over COVID Cases

in the last few days. The Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals have had at least two in their orgs as well.

According to Passan, Manfred believes much of this is due to players flouting safety guidelines ... including high-fiving, not wearing masks and spitting during games. One high-ranking official also told Passan,"There are some bad decisions being made" during players' social lives off the field as well.

Tons of MLB games are still scheduled to forgo this weekend ... with the marquee Red Sox-Yankees series beginning Friday afternoon in New York.

Substitute baseball or football or basketball for this and it’s about sums up the results

gtconway3d Wednesday it will be over.

👍👍👍👍

I wouldn't call it a 'threat'. It's going to be a tough decision for him. This isn't working out the way they'd hoped.

He's right, players making too much money, and there's too much on stake for there to be this many positive corvid cases

Wake up, this guy is a fraud.

penndragonArt Good.

No ones watching anyway. So it doesn’t matter either way.

YAY!!!

gtconway3d He should.

gtconway3d But but bbbut we will all die without baseball!

gtconway3d He should

Cancel the Marlins and let everyone else play

gtconway3d Here's the thing. Who give s sh!t?

gtconway3d Who’s manfred? Article doesn’t say. I’m not a baseball fan, but read the article.

No one will die without a single baseball season.... 🙄

gtconway3d REALLY I DONT CARE ABOUT ANY SPORT AT THIS TIME..ITS SIMPLY A BUSINESS.

gtconway3d Meh. MLBCovid

Boycott sports.

gtconway3d Rob Manfred reportedly listening to health experts and considering postponing MLB Season in order to keep players healthy.

gtconway3d Do you think the Astros are spreading the COVID.

gtconway3d I don't give a fuck about baseball. 😂

gtconway3d But first let's get one more weekend of ad revenue.

gtconway3d Should shut it down because of pure boredom.

gtconway3d Well ya

gtconway3d Do it!....bankrupt all the major league sports...they deserve it.

gtconway3d Do it.

CarolofAZ Threatening? He is in charge, his plan. Mismanagement from the beginning...

Shut down the Marlins, not the entire league! Make them forfeit any games while down.

gtconway3d Who could have foreseen this... they shouldn’t have opened the season to begin with, particularly without a bubble.

gtconway3d Or just terminate the marlins

Good. If they are not going take it seriously then no baseball season.

Who cares

Don't threat do it

gtconway3d Just null and void it.

gtconway3d Its only going to get worse, stop the spread. Shut it down.

gtconway3d It's really because Indians are in first place. But stay safe and well.

gtconway3d Do what you have to do. 😥

Don't theat do

gtconway3d Why should the teams who have done everything the smart way suffer because of the idiots who haven't? The not so bright teams should have their season terminated.

gtconway3d why not today?

gtconway3d Seems smart. Although I would have lived to see an updated video of the crowd booing Trump.

gtconway3d Oh yeah, Manfred is an ass. Just leave the game alone Stop with all the gimmicks 2 try & speed it up. U want to speed up the game? Then keep the batter in the box Also you can cut out 4 TV commercials between innings & that would speed the game up tremendously LeaveTheGameAlone

gtconway3d Shouldn’t have tried to have this sham of a season anyway. Shut. It. Down.

gtconway3d He should

gtconway3d Gee, no one saw this coming 🙄

gtconway3d These players ( grown ass man babies ) can’t behave themsleves shut it down before they spread COVID and get others sick

gtconway3d It's taking a long time⚾️ MLB coronavirus

gtconway3d Baseball is my favorite game & they should never have tried to have a season while a Pandemic is raging across most of the country. And without fan's in the stands it's lost a bit of its charm. It just doesn't feel real. ShutProSportsDown

gtconway3d Really but it's okay for school children to go to school because of the person in the White House saying it's okay even though he's not a medical profession or scientist.

gtconway3d Probably the smartest thing he will do in his lifetime. Don't threaten....just do it....save lives!

Good! Screw those arrogant, ungrateful players. They can now travel the world and kneel.

gtconway3d What season?

gtconway3d Instead of just doing the right thing so baseball can continue they F it up. So who loses? Us, the baseball fans who look forward to a couple of hours distraction from HIM. OMG IT'S MADDENING. AND IM VLADIMIR PUTIN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

gtconway3d Very Dad-like.

gtconway3d But let's OPEN SCHOOLS! 🙄😡🤬

gtconway3d He should.

gtconway3d 😢 if it helps stop the spread and saves lives thats what they should do. It’s very sad though.

gtconway3d Would be the smartest thing he's done his whole time as commissioner.

gtconway3d OF COURSE IT'S A FLORIDA TEAM THAT HAS PUT HIM IN THIS POSITION. DAMN NEAR THE ENTIRE TEAM HAS IT.

gtconway3d what he really needs to shut down is that awful fucking combover (and the baseball season, of course: that goes without saying)

I dont think its a threat. Im guessing it will happen next week

Good bye

Do it mf

And that is how it should be

Make it happen.

well well well....what can you expect? right lthomasnews

Tell Rob I've got the solution:

lipkinlip Who knew? Still don't care for him! He cheated the Dodgers of a World Series. He knew the Astros cheated and didn't care.

Manfred threathening Manfred. What a tool MLB

Shut it down. As soon as they kneeled it’s was dead!!

Shut it down. Shut it down now! Kneeling bastards!😂

Declare the New York yankees champs and call it off.

Maybe there is another reason why he intends to shut it down,

The NHL welcoming all NBA & NFL fans to come enjoy the NHL Playoffs

'Tons of MLB games are still scheduled to forgo this weekend' 🤨

Not surprised. They should have canceled the season

Why don’t you shut down Walmart as well.

MLB should just let Adam Silver run there league too

excellent, send them packing, kneel on your own time.

Go ahead

Just fucking do it.

Sad to see the downfall of MLB over the last 25 years or so.

Well at least one man is thinking about doing the right thing.

Apex in pedo

Let’s shut down Manfred

0 responsibility - sounds familiar 🧐
