Its thought the last time the Yankees and Mets played an exhibition against each other in New York City was 1983, the final Mayors Trophy game. They face each other typically in Grapefruit League action, although not always every year (and not in 2020).

The Yankees announced on Tuesday that their three-game, 2nd preseason schedule will begin with a pair against the Mets, July 18 at Citi Field and after that July 19 at Yankee Stadium. Joe Girardis Phillies will check out The Bronx on July 20, a night game like the 2 intracity tilts, to close out the Yankees preparation for their routine season, which will begin July 23 at the Nationals– all of this assuming the season does not get canceled due to the coronavirus.
