Major League Baseball’s best rivalry reportedly is headed across the pond.
According to the Associated Press and Bloomberg, the MLB is close to finalizing a deal that would see the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees play a two-game, regular-season series in London in 2019.
The series reportedly would be played at London’s Olympic Stadium on June 29-30, marking the first time regular-season games will be played in Europe.
While the details reportedly still are being ironed out, the Red Sox have the option to have both games count as home games, according to the AP.
MLB reportedly decided to hold the series in June because it is in the window following the Premier League season and before Olympic Stadium needs to be ready for track and field events, per the AP.
An announcement is expected to be made within the next two months.
Hope you’re ready to play ball, London.
