“If you do feel something, just stay away and take it as seriously as possible. That's the only way we're going to really get through a World Series. I just think it's important. Put your pride and egos aside. It could end up helping the rest of your teammates,” Bryant said.
Several MLB players have tested positive for coronavirus already. Several games have been postponed because of it.
