Unvaccinated MLB Players will be Refused Entry to Canada, Docked Pay

Major League Baseball may be back in front of the fans, but the league is still not back to normal as MLB has announced that unvaccinated players are still being barred entry to Canada, and they won’t be paid for missing games, either.

According to Sportsnet, MLB has noted that the Canadian border is still closed to unvaccinated visitors. That means that unvaccinated players are on the restricted list.

But MLB also warned that players who miss games because they cannot cross into Canada will not be paid for missing the game.

Shi Davidi added that a few teams took “serious issue” with the ban but ultimately bowed down.

These decisions come on the heels of mask requirements being dropped in every U.S. state and even Democrats leaning toward “declaring victory” against the coronavirus and coming out in favor of loosening restrictions.
