MLB makes a last-minute scheduling change that affects the Red Sox before they face the Yankees in the playoffs. Multiple outlets report that the league moves the Red Sox’ regular-season finale to St. Petersburg.

The adjustment places the Red Sox in an unusual situation, shifting where the final game is played rather than leaving it at the originally scheduled location. Both sources describe the change as occurring close to the end of the regular season, giving the team a different preparation and travel timeline than initially planned.

While the coverage is focused on the same core fact—the move to St. Petersburg—there are no additional, clearly differing details in the provided accounts about why the change is made or how MLB decides the new venue. The emphasis across outlets remains on the unexpected timing and the location change as the main development.
