Mets' Stroman opts out of 2020 MLB season
 New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman has opted out of the 2020 MLB season due to coronavirus concerns.

Stroman had been recovering from a calf injury and was in contention to make his season debut against the Miami Marlins next week.

But the 2019 All-Star decided against competing this year as he highlighted concerns with travelling to COVID-19 hotspots like Miami, where the Marlins were the subject of an outbreak.


Obviously, you see the [St Louis] Cardinals, the Marlins, you see spikes everywhere in the country, you see protocols not being handled properly from citizens everywhere,'' Stroman said during a Zoom call on Monday, following team-mate Yoenis Cespedes in opting out.

"You see us going to Florida soon. That was a big discussion I had with my family. Going to see the Marlins soon, that's something I don't want to be in that situation.''
