This morning’s news is that Mayor De Blasio will requite employees of private companies working in New York City to be vaccinated.
It is unclear to me which Mets may or may not be vaccinated.
Back in May, CBS Sports reported:
“We gotta update the rules here. We gotta follow the science, start listening to what the CDC says,” Scherzer, the Nationals’ representative for the MLB Players Association, told reporters (including Maria Tores of The Athletic) this week. “Vaccinated players that are testing positive and they’re asymptomatic should be allowed to play. Plain and simple.”
In March, NBC reported “Scherzer has not yet been vaccinated himself.” It is unclear to me if Max has since been vaccinated.
Regardless, I imagine there’s a chance there will be at least one player who has not been vaccinated. Could this new mandate force the Mets to play without their best roster?
