Major League Baseball has relocated the regular-season finale between the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs to Tropicana Field, with the game now scheduled for Sunday afternoon, according to ESPN.
The decision followed a forecast for inclement weather in the Boston area that threatened to disrupt the originally scheduled matchup at Fenway Park. Rather than risk a postponement on the final day of the regular season, the league opted to shift the contest to the Tampa Bay area venue instead.
The move highlights the scheduling pressure Major League Baseball faces at the close of the regular season, when standings, playoff seeding and travel logistics leave little room for delay. Both the Red Sox and the Cubs will need to adjust their travel plans to accommodate the change in location.
Further details on ticketing and broadcast arrangements for the relocated game were not immediately available, according to the report.
