NO! This can't be a good sign for all of us sports fans. The Miami Marlins have canceled their home opener against the Baltimore Orioles. The first pitch was scheduled for 7:10 PM. 

At least ten members on the team including players and coaches have tested positive for COVID-19. Another source has confirmed that as many as 12 players on the 30 team roster have tested positive. The Marlins were scheduled to fly out of Philadelphia back home to Miami yesterday, but remain in Pennsylvania. 


According to MLB's operations manual for the season, players and staff members are not allowed to travel or access club facilities following a positive test until after they have two negative tests at least 24 hours apart, show no fever for at least 72 hours, complete an antibody test and are cleared by a team physician as well as the MLB COVID-19 joint committee.
