        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aaron Boone said <strong>he was leaving spring training</strong> due to coronavirus concerns earlier this week, but a few Yankees continue to work out at Steinbrenner Field.</p><p>Among them to show up Thursday was DJ LeMahieu, who told reporters he plans to remain in Tampa during the shutdown rather than return to his home state up north.</p><p>“All the gyms in Michigan are closed and it is cold,” LeMahieu said, according to Post beat writer George King. “It’s nice to be outside and working out. I think this is the best place to be right now.”</p><p>Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Miguel Andujar, Tyler Wade and Mike Ford also were among the Yankees seen arriving at the spring-training complex Thursday. GM Brian Cashman also remains in Tampa.</p><p>“I guess personally we’re doing OK. But it’s a serious situation I don’t think anyone saw coming,” LeMahieu said. “We’re doing what we can.”</p><p><iframe scrolling="no"  width="100%" height="200" frameborder="no" data-src="https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADL9780514253&amp;light=true" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="></iframe></p><p>Two minor leaguers in the Yankees’ organization <strong>already have tested positive for COVID-19.</strong> With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommending avoiding crowds larger than 50 people, LeMahieu added that <strong>all necessary precautions are being taken</strong> by those sharing the facility.</p><p>“Everyone’s wearing gloves, giving each other space, doing everything we can to stay safe and at the same time getting a little bit of work in,” LeMahieu said. “A lot of rehab guys are coming in to do their thing. They’re leaving it open mostly for the rehab guys”</p><p>The 31-year-old infielder added that he expects to stay in Tampa “for the foreseeable future,” with his wife, Jordyn.</p><p>“I really don’t want to go home. I’ll stay here,” he said. “Personally, it keeps me sane, at least work out and do some baseball stuff.”</p><p>Asked if he and the other players have been speculating when the MLB season might begin, LeMahieu replied: “I don’t think so. We want to play as soon as possible. But I don’t know.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
