    Does anyone happen to know what this could be? Player signing? Stadium news? Here's the YouTube link to the stream for tomorrow.

    They are bringing in a right fielder and a player to be named later?

    The Yankees will announce they will be taking two unprecedented 3 week road trips. These will take place during the months of May and August. NYCFC will have to play all of their home games during those windows.

    But would that constitute as a "major" announcement? They made it clear that they would probably be playing at Yankee Stadium at first.

    It does when you have no other stadium news to report. The YS agreement hasn't been officially announced yet so that is what it will be. MLS often considers where the All-Star game will be played for one year as a "major" announcement. "major" announcement is thrown around very easily in this league.

    Also despite what many on BS think I "feel" that this YS agreement has not been as easy as most think. I think it has taken this entire time to actually get MLB and Yankees to agree to it.

    This is just nit picking as I know he has a soccer player past, but Reyna is brutal behind a mic. Reminded me of 4th grade speech class.

    Expected field dimensions at Yankee Stadium: 110 x 70. That's definitely on the narrow side.

    Where are "the" MLS police? I have heard it at least 10 times already.

    Edit: And again and again since I posted this. They haven't said "MLS" without "the" infront yet.

    It is absolutely clear there is no news on the SSS front.
