Summary

The MLB season is in jeopardy after multiple players on the Miami Marlins tested positive for COVID-19. This could be a concern for the NFL’s season, but as Mike points out, the two sports operate in completely different ways. Jamal Adams finally gets his wish to leave the New York Jets as he’s traded away to the Seattle Seahawks in a blockbuster deal. Antonio Browns unofficially unretires, the football team in Washington will be called the “Washington Football Team,” and Dont'a Hightower becomes fifth Patriots player to opt out of 2020 NFL season.
