MLB players will have to limit their spitting during games with new protocols

MLB is coming back, but players will be seeing some new guidelines enacted during games.  With the pandemic, players will have to exercise various hygiene-friendly and social distancing practices.  That mean, they gotta limit spitting.  Korea and Taiwan have already implemented this, banning spitting entirely.  So don’t be surprised when you’re not seeing any saliva shoot out of Cubbies or Sox mouthes this coming season.

Players will also have to be tested for COVID-19 frequently, maintain safe distance between them and other players and they’ll have to stop high-fiving each other too!  Things will never be the same…
