Bombers in Miami, Marlins in Puerto Rico

The Yankees are coming to Miami. The Marlins are going to San Juan.

The Marlins announced today that the New York Yankees would play two spring training games at Marlins Park on April 1 and 2.

In addition, the Marlins will head to Puerto Rico to face the Pittsburgh Pirates in two regular-season games on May 30-31.

The Marlins will be returning to Puerto Rico for the first time since 2010. In three previous series at Hiram Bithorn Stadium, they have gone 7-2.

Regarding tickets, here's what the Marlins have announced: 

"For the second time since moving to Marlins Park, the Marlins will wrap up Spring Training with two contests against the New York Yankees at Marlins Park. All current season ticket holders that are affected by the change will have the option to replace the Pirates games with the Yankees exhibition games to their plan. Fans interested in purchasing season ticket plans that include these newly added Yankees games should go to Marlins.com/Tickets or call 305-480-2525.

 "Single game tickets for the Yankees games and the 2016 regular season will go on sale at FanFest, which will take place on Saturday, February 20, 2016 at Marlins Park."
