For most of April, while baseball was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease was back home in Georgia, preparing for a possible baseball season but also bracing for what he felt was coming next.
The coronavirus very likely invaded the house where Cease was living. He was concerned it was only a matter of time before he became stricken with the disease as well.
“Everyday I was waiting for it,” Cease said on the White Sox Talk Podcast.
After spring training was canceled, Cease flew from Arizona to Georgia to stay at his brother’s place.
