Red Sox president says to expect news on renaming Yawkey Way ‘in the next couple weeks’

The days of Yawkey Way appear to be winding down.

According to Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy, fans should see movement to rename the controversial Fenway Park-adjacent street this spring.

“We’re still in conversations with the city so no new update right now but probably in the next couple weeks we’ll have some news,” Kennedy told MassLive.com on Monday, adding that the team has had to get a number of local stakeholders on board to file a formal petition for the name change with the city.

“There’s a lot of property owners and publicly elected officials who have to endorse the petition [to change the name] as well and then you submit it [to the city],” he said.
