\n After four straight days of postponements due to a pair of coronavirus cases, the Mets now face a different hurdle: starting Tuesday, they\u2019ll play nine game<\/a>s in six days \u2014 including three doubleheaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a challenge, but this is a year that can\u2019t be about excuses,\u2019\u2019 general<\/a> manager Brodie Van Wagenen said Monday in a Zoom call. \u201cWe are not the only team that has faced adversity with scheduling. We\u2019re not the only team that\u2019s faced adversity with losing players or coaches for a period of time. Everyone\u2019s been faced with their own injury challenges. We can\u2019t be looking at what we don\u2019t have or what our challenges may be going forward. We\u2019ve got to think about what we do have and find ways to be competitive with the schedule we\u2019re faced with.\u201d<\/p>\n

That schedule begins with Tuesday\u2019s twin bill against the Marlins at Citi Field. The Mets held a staggered workout at Citi Field on Monday, their first action since their game in Miami was postponed Thursday afternoon following the positive tests.<\/p>\n

The Mets will then play single games against the Marlins on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by a doubleheader against the Yankees on Friday in The Bronx. The Yankees and Mets will play a single game Saturday at Yankee Stadium, followed by another doubleheader at the Stadium on Sunday. The other postponed Subway Series<\/a> game is slated to be made up Sept. 3 at Citi Field, meaning five of the six matchups will take place in The Bronx \u2014 although the Mets will serve as the home team in two of those games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d always like to play every game at home, whether it\u2019s this series or any other,\u2019\u2019 said Van Wagenen, who added the Mets worked with MLB on the schedule. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to be prepared to play everywhere. That\u2019s got to be our focus and not worry about whether it\u2019s at Citi Field or Yankee Stadium or any of our other road games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their other focus remains on staying healthy. The Mets did not disclose the position player or coach who tested positive for COVID.<\/p>\n

Van Wagenen said the two did display symptoms, but those have mostly dissipated. There is no timetable for when they might leave Miami. The GM said through contact tracing, four other members of the organization were found to have been in close contact, but all four continued to test negative and are on their way back to New York.<\/p>\n

As of Monday, the team still hadn\u2019t determined how the positive results came about.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what we\u2019re all learning is this virus continues to have a lot more questions for us than answers,\u2019\u2019 Van Wagenen said. \u201cWe do feel comfortable that the spread has not come from player-to-player or coach-to-coach. At this point, our best guess is it came from some outside spot. But that is simply that: It\u2019s a guess. We don\u2019t know and we may never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Wagenen added he was confident the cases did not come because of \u201cmisbehaving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel good about what we\u2019re doing and I know our players take it seriously,\u2019\u2019 Van Wagenen said. \u201cAnd we have a high degree of confidence that this exposure we received is not as a result of anyone misbehaving or failing to be responsible with their own safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

That begs the question of what the Mets might be able to do, if anything, to tighten protocols, since they got the positive cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it reminds us we\u2019re not immune to exposure and reminds us the protocols Major League Baseball put in place and the efforts we\u2019ve taken as an organization are smart and the right ones,\u2019\u2019 the GM said. \u201cWhen we started back up, I think there was an assumption and expectation that baseball was gonna have positive cases and I think it\u2019s a tribute to what has been done that there\u2019s been so few cases.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
