There's a small living room amid the suites the Twins are staying in this week, and this being Minnesota, someone has brought a cornhole set in case a player wants some friendly competition in the hallway. There's a communal TV, too, usually tuned to baseball or wired to a video game console.
"It's a pretty comfortable set-up. We get all the things that we're used to, the food that we're used to," Rocco Baldelli said. "Guys are chilling out, relaxing."
So what does the Twins' manager have planned for a quarantined off day?
"I'll probably sit on my bed, or the other furniture in the room at some point," Baldelli said. "Probably be on the phone for a good bit. I'm really not sure what else."
Millions of Americans, idled by the pandemic and the need to avoid risking infection, can relate to the boredom that major leaguers face this week as they enter MLB-mandated lockdown.
No face-to-face contact is allowed with people outside the quarantine, so it's up to the roughly 130 members of the Twins' traveling party — 40 players, about 40 wives and children, and 50 coaches, trainers and other staff members — to occupy themselves without leaving the hotel they're bunkered down in, or the ballpark they're playing in.
And as the entire country has learned during this pandemic, that's not always easy.
"I'm a guy that likes to move around a lot and do a lot of things. I don't sit still a lot," pitching coach Wes Johnson said.
