It’s the fourth day of Grapefruit League action for the Yankees, as a portion of the Bronx Bombers rides the bus from Tampa to Orlando to take on the division rival Rays. For those generally familiar with spring training venues, this may raise some eyebrows, as the Rays had been hosted in Port Charlotte from 2009-22, but Hurricane Ian sadly wreaked havoc on the area late last year.
So the Rays had to move away from Port Charlotte for 2023, instead splitting spring between the familiar Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg and ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando.
