New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman is opting out of the 2020 baseball season, citing concerns over coronavirus.
“There’s just too many uncertainties, too many unknowns right now to go out there, and truly just put the health for my family and myself first and foremost,” he said. Stroman was sidelined by a calf injury but has now recovered.
