Gov. Andrew Cuomo invited Major League baseball teams to play out the rest of their season in New York where he said the state can keep players better protected from the coronavirus that has led to postponed games and cast doubt on the return of the sport. 

The MLB postponed at least two games on Monday after more than a dozen Miami Marlins players and staff members tested positive for Covid-19. 

“New York state could host any Major League Baseball games that any teams want to play and they could play those games in our stadiums,” Cuomo said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday. “New York state has one of the lowest infection rates in the United States.”
