NEW YORK — A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press a three-game series between the New York Mets and Florida Marlins in June has been moved from Miami to Puerto Rico.

The shift to San Juan’s Hiram Bithorn Stadium had been discussed for months pending an agreement between Major League Baseball and the players’ association. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement was scheduled for Thursday.

Florida will remain the home team, and the games will be played from June 28-30.
