Probably a gamble because he's still a free agent. Yasiel Puig.

A Pistons player has tested positive, but the team has not publicly identified him

Masahiro Tanaka 

@Gabriel

It it would really be the most Mets thing ever if they managed to get coronavirus, too

I'd like to take 2B Gavin Lux 

@Lowerdeck, the floor is yours.

I'm not happy with Wojo reporting that Rudy was being careless in the locker room. It's a locker room, with an extremely close team. Of course there's going to be touching. Even if Jazz players are privately saying that, keep it private. 

But I mean is this not careless?

Nebraska's coach left the game partway through after appearing to be visibly ill on the bench. It would be worthy to note that coach Hoiberg had previously needed a surgery to correct an enlarged aortic root.

On ESPN, they briefly touched upon the impact of this. So, when you consider the 34ish players that Rudy came in contact with, plus media, coaches, ballboys, stadium employes, fans, etc, and all the people they've come in contact with, the number of people who could have been exposed to the virus would balloon exponentially. Time will tell what will come of this, and I think suspending the season is one of the safest moves they could have made. 

Sounds like the Pelicans game, which is supposed to start in 10 minutes, might be cancelled as well. Sacramento Kings are on the court warming up, but the Pelicans have not come out of the locker room, and one of the referees scheduled to work tonight worked Monday night's Utah Jazz game

EDIT: Game has been cancelled

Well, that escalated quickly. 

Of course it was the fucking Knicks. The whole thing with the Jazz/Thunder game is wild, and Rudy Gobert looks especially bad, considered the way he was acting at the press conference the other day. Hopefully it's nothing serious, but really what is wrong with that dude?

JD Davis 

@Gabriel

Sorry for the delay on my part. Been at work all weekend. I'd like to take Kenley Jansen if he is still available. I believe @Lowerdeck is next

Corey Kluber 

@Gabriel

Tyler Glasnow

@Lowerdeck

Paul Goldschmidt @Gabriel

Haven't seen his name come up, so correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like Vlad Guerrero Jr. 

@Lowerdeck I think is next

OF Michael Conforto

@Gabriel

I'd like to take SS Xander Bogaerts. Sorry for the delay.  @Lowerdeck the floor is yours

Fernando Tatis Jr. Not sure who's next? @Gabriel?

Cody Bellinger, please. @Lowerdeck

Really horrific crash at the end of the Daytona 500 involving Ryan Newman. The fact that there have been no medical updates about him since it happened kind of scares me. I hope everything is going to be okay. Crash footage in spoilers.  

Is it too late to join?
