Now the question is: What happens next?

Coronavirus Coverage

With a shortened schedule that includes 60 games in less than 70 days for every team, this was the last thing baseball needed. The schedule has little room for makeup games.

How the Marlins and MLB handle the outbreak could impact decision-making for the NFL and college football for the coming season. For now, players, coaches, media and fans are left to wonder.

One of the biggest concerns about baseball’s return was the lack of a “bubble” atmosphere to play games. With the latest news, that decision has been brought back to light. ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski believes the lack of a bubble is a major reason for the outbreak.

The Marlins’ first three games were against the Phillies. There haven’t been reports of the virus impacting the Phillies, but how MLB handles the opposing team is the next order of business. The chances of that series going on as planned aren’t looking good after Game 1 was postponed.

That could be in jeopardy.

Former NFL player and ESPN personality Damien Woody is losing hope, and he’s not the only one. While the bubble works for smaller sports, NFL rosters and staffs make it a more difficult task. Current NFL player Jason McCourty even has concerns.

On the other hand, others are more optimistic that the outbreak won’t have a long-lasting impact on the MLB or potential football seasons.
