Cubs vs. Red Sox season finale moved to Florida's Tropicana Field due to storm

  • Major League Baseball relocated the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs' regular-season finale from Fenway Park to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, with the game set for Sunday at 3:05 p.m. ET.
  • Forecasters predicted an early-season nor'easter bringing heavy rain, 50 mph winds, and potential flooding to New England, prompting officials to move the game and avoid a Monday makeup date before the postseason begins.
  • Following a split doubleheader at Fenway Park on Friday, September 25, both teams departed Boston and traveled over 1,000 miles south to Florida to complete their regular-season series before the postseason.
  • Cubs manager Craig Counsell said the team would take the shift 'in stride,' though the disruption complicated pitching preparations as the squad navigates the condensed schedule without extra September roster reinforcements.
  • Following Sunday's finale, the Red Sox will travel to New York for a best-of-three Wild Card Series against the Yankees on Tuesday, while the Cubs await final seeding to determine their postseason path.
