\n BOSTON \u2014 Brandon Nimmo saw reports Monday about the Marlins\u2019 coronavirus outbreak and said his first thoughts were concern about the players and whether the Mets\u2019 scheduled game<\/a> at Fenway Park might be postponed or canceled.<\/p>\n

Assured his team was playing, Nimmo said his mind wandered to whether the Marlins\u2019 outbreak was from a random exposure or if MLB protocol had been breached.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know this spreads through contact, mainly coughing and sneezing so it makes you wonder what might have happ<\/a>ened there \u2014 that is human nature to be curious about what happened,\u201d Nimmo said. \u201cBut the biggest thing is it could be any number of things we can\u2019t control, we are not going to tell players they just can\u2019t do anything outside of playing baseball. Even though we are trying to do the most that we can right now, you never know what is going on off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 11 players from the Marlins\u2019 30-man roster, and two coaches, having tested positive for the coronavirus, the abbreviated MLB season has reached an early critical juncture. The Braves were exposed to the Marlins last week in exhibition games before they came to Citi Field for their season-opening series<\/a>. So the Mets, by extension, have potentially been exposed to the outbreak.<\/p>\n

But after receiving their regularly scheduled tests on Friday and Sunday (without indication of positive tests), Nimmo says there is a level of confidence in the clubhouse the Mets will escape unscathed. Much of Nimmo\u2019s faith about preventing a future infection within the team stems from the steps the Mets have taken, from spreading out over six busses (with five players and five staff members aboard each) on their trip<\/a> here from New York in the early hours of Monday morning, to holding team meetings in spacious hotel conference rooms as opposed to cramped quarters at Fenway Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hotel, we are staying in two levels where the whole team is, the traffic is just us, it\u2019s like a bubble,\u201d Nimmo said. \u201cWe were 10 people to a bus coming here and make sure we maintain distance and wearing our masks, so we are strict. We are still going to call each other out that we need to be consistent and we keep on learning, as we go to each field and learn our ways in and around.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still optimistic about it. It\u2019s real unfortunate that happened [with the Marlins], I wish them all the best and I hope this is a hiccup and not something that lingers, but as far as we\u2019re concerned we are still doing everything we can and I still think we have a real good thing going here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mets emphasized social<\/a> distancing during camp \u2014 to the point general<\/a> manager Brodie Van Wagenen requested that players stretch the 6-foot rule to 10 feet \u2014 but once the regular season started Friday it was difficult for players to avoid the temptation of a celebratory high five. After the Mets beat the Braves in the opener, the team congregated on the field and went through the line with high fives.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear the Mets can improve in enforcing that particular protocol.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have constant talks about staying with the protocol and being consistent and I feel we did a great job in camp,\u201d manager Luis Rojas said. \u201cThis weekend as the season started and emotions were high and we got some fist-bumps, high fives and all that and we reinforced about hand sanitizing, still keeping the distance and doing everything we can do and also outside the facility just the behavior as well, just being solid, knowing we have to be healthy \u2014 that is the No. 1 priority. We keep reminding each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rojas said the team is becoming more strict about wearing masks when players are together, other than on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things happening in the world right now,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cBut at the same time we\u2019re optimistic about the protocols that MLB put out there and we felt prepared coming to camp and we keep learning each day.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
