Baseball has returned for Summer camp and not even a week in, there are problems across the board with Covid testing. Testers not showing up, tests results being delayed, long wait periods between testing, making all who are involved at ask.

Will more players opting out each day, those who are on the fence, may be leaning away from the game, than toward playing. If MLB can figure it out, because all problems are fixable, we do have a schedule. With some key must watch matchups, you can only hope the season gets played. But MLB must make it safe for everyone. The clock is ticking.
