Yankee Mets News: New York Governor says “Play ball,” okay to use NYC fields

The New York Yankees and New York Mets got a bit of good news this afternoon by way of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Last night MLB shut down spring training parks in Florida and Arizona as several teams reported positive cases of the coronavirus. The Philadelphia Phillies were hardest hit when five players and three workers have tested positive in the last few days. Cuomo, in his daily news conference, announced that the New York Yankees and New York Mets were returning to NYC for spring training 2.0.

“I can’t wait to see spring training in New York,” Cuomo said.
