New York governor Andrew Cuomo says he can envision a scenario where there are baseball games played in Yankee Stadium and Citi Field this season.

"If players could get paid more than staying home and owners would get some revenue versus total shutdown, why not? I'd love to watch." Cuomo said during a Sunday press briefing, noting he has spoken with owners of professional sports teams, but he did not identify which ones.

"It would have to be up to them, that they do an economic analysis that says, yeah, some revenue is better than no revenue, and my players are willing to negotiate a contract reduction," Cuomo added. "Everybody has to think outside the box, right? Because there is no box."
