Paul Sullivan and a Cardinals beat reporter were denied access to Guaranteed Rate Field this weekend after coming from St. Louis, a COVID-19 hot spot. Sullivan also had a column about this in today's Tribune.

I think it’s best to quarantine Paul Sullivan for the duration of the season. Let him go to his beloved Wrigley.

Good! Under normal circumstances obviously it would be good to let everyone in, but restricting access during a pandemic makes sense.

Yea, they told James Fegan if he went to Milwaukee to cover that series he wouldn't be allowed in the park. It seems like they're applying the same standard for everyone, so reporters are aware of this before they come into the park.

Why is a Chicago baseball writer in St. Louis when no games are being played there?

He was in St. Louis prior to the Cubs series being cancelled the week before.

This was mentioned on radio broadcast of one of the games over the weekend.
