        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The St. Louis Cardinals were literally rolling the dice with the MLB season.</p><p>MLB Network confirmed a tweet from former big leaguer Jerry Hairston Jr. that at least a couple of Cardinals players <a href="https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1290341072007245825">went to a casino recently.</a></p><p>The Post&#8217;s Joel Sherman confirmed St. Louis had 13 positive tests, with seven of those being players. The Cardinals&#8217; upcoming series against the Tigers has been postponed &#8212; their total of pushed back games now stands at 7 &#8212; and the current plan is for them to resume playing on Friday.</p><p>The daunting news about the Cardinals latest coronavirus results comes after 18 players and three staff members on the Miami Marlins tested positive for the coronavirus over the last week.</p><p>“A few Marlins go to a club &amp; now hearin a few Cardinals went to a Casino? That’s not following protocols,” <a href="https://twitter.com/TheRealJHair/status/1289573947155992582">Hairston tweeted.</a> “MLB Players are furious cause 28 other teams have worked hard to follow guidelines. #smh.”</p><p>There were reports that Marlins players disregarded protocols and went out to the hotel bar. On Monday, Miami CEO Derek Jeter dismissed the assertion the Marlins went out to a bar or club.</p><p>&#8220;Our guys were not running all around team after our game in Atlanta,&#8221; Jeter said on a conference call. &#8220;Some of our traveling party had a false sense of security.&#8221;</p><p>The Marlins had no new positive tests on Monday, nor did the Phillies who played Miami in the teams&#8217; season-opening series. The Phillies had one coach and one staffer test positive last week, but are scheduled to resume their season on Monday night against the Yankees.</p><p>It is still undecided when the Marlins will play again.</p><p>MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred sent a memo to the MLBPA on Friday explaining that the season is in jeopardy and the players need to act more responsibly if they expect it to be salvaged.</p>]]></content:encoded>
