TAMPA, Fla. — The Yankees and Red Sox have the Curse of the Bambino, Bucky Dent’s home run and the “Idiots” historic comeback of 2004 highlighting their rich and sometimes volatile history.
Now, they are looking to add a new chapter — in England.
The teams are close to an agreement to play a two-game series at London Stadium in June 2019, according to a baseball official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the plans had not yet been finished.
The series, first reported by Bloomberg, is part of Major League Baseball’s push to play more games outside its traditional home cities in the United States and Canada.
