FORT MYERS – The Red Sox and Yankees have been calling for a London series for the last couple of years.
Next June, it looks as if it's going to happen.
According to a Bloomberg report, the Red Sox and Yankees are closing in on agreement to play a series at London's Olympic Stadium in June of 2019.
When reached for comment, Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy replied, “The Red Sox would certainly be willing participants in a London series, but this decision will be made MLB and the MLBPA.”
There are still details to be hammered out – a deal has yet to be officialized and an announcement is not imminent.
