For the New York Yankees, there has been a shift west. On Monday morning, reporter Ken Rosenthal tweeted that MLB is getting closer to releasing a revised spring training schedule for Florida’s Grapefruit League. The plan calls for the Grapefruit league in Flordia two be in two separate pods. Those teams on the east coast will play only teams on that coast, the teams like the Yankees on the west coast playing teams on that same coast. All this to reduce travel during spring training while being jammed into buses for long rides.
If adopted, that would mean that the Yankees will be playing 24 games with the Philadelphia Phillies, the Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Pittsburgh Pirates who are all located from St.
