Some people telling me to stay home if I don't want to play. We're asking these questions BECAUSE we want to play. We want to restart the season again. We also want everyone it would require to resume a baseball season to be as safe as possible. https://twitter.com/whatwouldDOOdo/status/1259920490992410626

I know that some people have gone back to work. I think you could argue that many of those people are providing more essential and immediate services to their communities (they should also get hazard pay and better benefits). But these concerns apply to workers in every industry.

It's why we have a responsibility to do this ethically. Can we ensure that we will not be diverting resources (tests, PPE, etc.) from people and communities and more essential workers? What if a player sustains an injury and needs surgery? How will that work?

And it's true that the vast majority of players are not at risk of developing severe symptoms. But when so many of our coaches, clubhouse staff, and workforce are in the higher age groups that might make them more vulnerable, we have to make sure they are protected too.

It feels like the conversation about an MLB restart has shifted to the economic issues and that's really frustrating. Until there's a vaccine, let's focus on keeping everyone as safe as possible & minimizing the risks so we can play baseball again. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/quarantine-fatigue-real-and-shaming-people-wont-help/611482/

Until then, as we say in DC... #STAYINTHEFIGHT
