Turner was exposing everyone in the clubhouse, hotel and field prior to the test result being reported, to be fair. Part of the whole loving issue here (and in the White House lol) is that you can transmit the virus when you have asymptomatic disease and potentially test negative.

whoopsiedoozle wonder how that might have happened
If you read the piece a bunch of these people weren't in Texas. Of course it's all vague on details because MLB dgaf at this point, they got the season and playoffs in so they don't care anymore.

most of the people who tested positive were outside the so-called bubble at the World Series in Arlington, Texas.

Guess that means Taijuan Walker won't be back since I think the Jays wanted to fill two spots in the rotation, one at the back end and one at the front.

I can't tell if this is a joke, everyone after Ryu, including Ray, is back of the rotation material.

I really hope they bring Walker back.

It's such a dumb story too because even if you believe him, it reflects incredibly poorly on his leadership abilities. This isn't like "one guy on the team took PED's and I didn't realize it" or something, this is "there was a complex sign stealing operation involving over half the players, the bench coach, and a setup in the clubhouse to steal signs that the manager was also aware and not happy about, and somehow I was completely in the dark about this for an entire season."

Buddy... that's not a good look.

e. That said yeah there's no way the Astros let it get to discovery, even if they do have solid evidence Luhnow knew. He's going to make a quick buck on the settlement.
