Aaron Bonne, the Yankees coach, commented on his side's schedule which has recently been shaken up due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the Marlins organization.
“We are fortunate enough to have a group that is very focused. So I feel like, from a focus standpoint, we’re ready," Bonne said.

“I think of it more as your heart goes out to the individual players and that you hope your guys are able to turn it around and get back on the field.
"We always try to be prepared for adversity and we knew going into this we were going to have to prepare for some uncomfortable situations," he added.
“It’s one of those things that’s going to be critical if you are going to be able to have success on the field this year.”
