The New York Yankees got their wish.
According to the New York Daily News, ESPN has removed the Yankees' July 8 showdown against the Toronto Blue Jays from their Sunday Night Baseball schedule after the Bronx Bombers reportedly threatened to boycott the network's reporters for the remainder of the season.
The Yankees and Blue Jays will now play at 1:07 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 8. Had the game remained a nightcap, the Yankees would have been forced to play three games within 24 hours in two different cities since they have a doubleheader scheduled for July 9 against the Baltimore Orioles.
