"While a desire to celebrate is understandable, Turner’s decision to leave isolation and enter the field was wrong and put everyone he came in contact with at risk. When MLB Security raised the matter of being on the field with Turner, he emphatically refused to comply."
Still missing Justin Turner, Westheim?

Ahh, yes
The MLB propaganda...er...statement. Trying to place all the blame on the player and absolve themselves.
Turner, and the Dodgers certainly aren't blameless here
But MLB
1) started a game without the test results. Whats the point of tests if there's no result?
2) let Turner be on the field after the first test came back either positive or "inconclusive" (which CDC guidelines say should be treated as a positive test).
3) allowed the game to continue after a player in the game tested positive
4) Security allowed Turner onto the field for the celebration. What good is security if they don't do their job? Does anyone think they would have let one of us onto the field?
