NBC Sports Boston reporter and anchor Trenni Kusnierek made her weekly appearance on Boston Public Radio Wednesday, where she talked about the string of issues within Major League Baseball as it navigates the business of playing during a global pandemic. Her interview followed coronavirus breakouts within both the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals.

"There’s a lot of money at stake,” Kusnierek said, reflecting on the path forward for the MLB. "TV revenue, salaries – and just eyeballs. You certainly don’t want this to fail, but this is obviously bringing to light a lot of questions about Major League Baseball’s decision to not go and bubble their league the same way many of the other major sports leagues have."
