Red Sox postpone White House trip because of shutdown
BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox are postponing their White House visit because of the partial government shutdown.
The team says it consulted with Major League Baseball and the White House and rescheduled the trip to May 9, an off-day after a three-game series in Baltimore.
The team made the announcement a few hours before President Donald Trump and Congressional leaders agreed on a deal to reopen the government for three weeks and partial government shutdown. The agreement would keep the government open until Feb. 15.
