NEW YORK — The Yankees and Mets would train in New York if Major League Baseball and its players try to start the coronavirus-delayed season.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo made the announcement Saturday, and the teams confirmed the plan. Cuomo said he would like to stop by to see them training.
„I think New York now is especially attractive, compared to the other states, because we have such a low transmission rate, and this is a state that is ready, willing and able to partner with sports teams so that they can play,“ Cuomo said.
The Yankees originally had intended for their base to be their spring training complex in Tampa, Florida.
