MLB is not planning to relocate the Red Sox-Cubs weekend series despite forecasts of a nor'easter potentially impacting the Boston area, multiple outlets reported Monday. The decision comes after weather analysis sparked speculation about possible schedule adjustments to avoid disruptions.
One Reddit post claims the Red Sox and Cubs may play a doubleheader Friday to get ahead of the rainy weekend, though this report stands alone among the available coverage and lacks independent confirmation from other outlets.
The series carries significance for the Cubs, who enter the final five games of the regular season tied with the Padres and Phillies for the top Wild Card spot at 87-70, per reporting from Bleed Cubbie Blue.
