COVID-19, Baseball, and Fantasy Baseball

While I'd rather be writing a Corona post on Kenedy Corona, the current pandemic which has gripped the world the last month has now arrived in America and already affected the greatest two pillars of our society: Tom Hanks and Baseball. While apple pie seems to be unaffected, I can say that Tom Hanks infection has directly led to my loss of appetite, ergo, apple pie is affected! Science, baby. Grey, of course, had an amazing write-up covering the shuttering of spring training and delay to the regular season and so with this post, I'd like to delve a little deeper into the macro and micro effects that will occur moving forward. I'd also like to keep a sharp focus on just the impact that COVID-19 will have on baseball and fantasy baseball only, so while I realize it'd be weird to ignore the human cost entirely, I want to state that for the most recent CDC guidelines, go here, and there's a fantastic live map tracker here. And be sure to start showering yourself in Purell hourly and avoid touching yourself. (Bathing suit areas should be safe. And if it isn't, well, may God have mercy on us all...)*
*The last two recommendations were jokes, so don't sue bro. But to be honest, a Purell shower doesn't sound like a net-negative, so who knows...
