NEW YORK -- Look for pinstripes in Paris.
The New York Yankees have told Major League Baseball they want to be one of the teams for the sport's first games in continental Europe at the Stade de France outside Paris during 2025, two people familiar with the planning told The Associated Press. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because MLB has not made details public.
"That's cool. It sounds pretty exciting," Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole said. "That's going to be a really special opportunity."
MLB has not yet reached any decisions on teams for the France games and has been more focused on the 2023 schedule, with its new balanced format.
