TAMPA — In this age of coronavirus, a safer locale Friday can transform to a less safe place by Sunday. A sound strategy can turn unsound in fewer than 48 hours.
Yet everyone can agree on the greater reality, which chose George M. Steinbrenner Field on Sunday as its latest declaration: Right now, nowhere is truly safe, no game plan foolproof.
It turned into yet another whirlwind day here. What began as a continued show of solidarity, the majority of the Yankees players showing up and getting in some work with the season suspended, concluded with multiple players leaving for their homes far away. And in between, the Yankees became the first baseball team to have a player — a minor leaguer whom the team didn’t identify — test positive for coronavirus, thereby seeing Major League Baseball join the National Basketball Association as leagues that have sustained a direct hit from this still-mysterious disease.
