1b coach EY and King Felix opt out of 2020 season.

I expect majority of the team to get this. It's already becoming expected by many that they'll end up getting it but we must still protect ourselves.

So, we possibly won't ever see Felix ever play for us. I was excited for him being a Brave but I also understand why he's decided to sit.

Markakis has opted out of 2020 season, after Freeman and 3 other Braves test positive for Covid-19.

Welp, it's time to shop over Yonder for a 1st baseman/corner OFer.

It's time to shut down 2020 baseball.

Freddie Freeman's wife, Chelsea, posted on Instagram on Monday night that the Braves' first baseman is starting to feel better.

Freeman was one of a few Braves' players to test positive for COVID-19 and Chelsea previously wrote that he experienced "body aches, headaches, chills and a high fever since Thursday." He said Sunday that he's feeling stronger, so things continue to move in the right direction. He's still in quarantine for now and will need a pair of negative tests before joining the Braves. Also good news, Chelsea and their son, Charlie, haven't had any issues.

I remember Markakis considering retirement before he signed the newest contract. I won't be surprised if he's played his final season.

Agreed - and I don't think the Braves were all that excited about signing him this year - just giving him just a 1 year contract. He'd have a struggle making a team in 2021. And he's made a zillion dollars, has a very hot wife, and young kids. Thank you Nick.

Nick is coming back to play with the Braves.

Wonder if the wife and kids were driving him nuts.
