JMO, but I wouldn't want to fly on an airplane right now. It seems this would be quickest way to get the virus other than a cruise ship.
Orioles leave, Yankees stay
hmmmmmm?
According to MASN Roch, the majority if not all the players were staying in Sarasota. Players CAN go back home if they wish, but the Orioles like many teams are going to stay at their Spring Training facilities
Many have stayed, but some have gone, and now I have, too.
Shame not all stayed...hmmm...go O’s...
