Twins players, families head into strict quarantine Tuesday

The Twins' five remaining regular season games and, they hope, a first-round playoff series, will be played at Target Field.

But starting Tuesday, it's all one big road trip for the players, even in Minneapolis.

The entire 40-man roster, along with several family members and a few dozen staff members, will check in to a nearby hotel on Tuesday, and begin life under a strict quarantine. No more being politely asked to follow COVID-19 recommendations, no more do-your-best-to-stay-safe admonitions - the Twins, like all teams expecting to compete in the playoffs next week, will now exist, until they are eliminated from the playoffs, in a mobile virus-free "bubble," with no outside interactions that could risk an infection and jeopardize the lucrative postseason tournament.
