Cubs vs. Red Sox season finale moved to Florida's Tropicana Field due to storm
MLB relocated the finale after a Nor'easter threatened New England, sending the playoff-bound teams to a climate-controlled venue for Game 162.
- On Friday, Major League Baseball announced the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox will relocate their regular-season finale from Fenway Park to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, citing a Nor'easter expected to pummel the Northeast.
- Forecasts of heavy rain and strong winds hitting New England this weekend prompted the move, with the Saturday contest originally scheduled for 7:15 p.m. at Fenway Park now set for Sunday afternoon.
- The Red Sox secured the No. 5 seed in the American League playoffs by beating the Cubs 4-3 in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader, positioning them for a best-of-three Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees on Tuesday.
- Both teams will travel to Florida following the doubleheader to align with MLB's final regular-season games on Sunday, while the Cubs enter their final contests with an 88-72 record still fighting for playoff positioning.
- This marks the first time since 2017 that Major League Baseball has relocated a game due to weather, and Red Sox officials confirmed fans who purchased tickets directly will receive refunds within seven days.
