MLB Has Relocated All-Star Game Out of Georgia.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that he was “heartened” by the fact MLB and the Players Association were able to agree to move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta after the passage of a Georgia state law that will make it more difficult for residents to vote.

“The fact there was a swift and difficult decision made, I’m a little heartened by that level of communication,’’ Boone said after the Yankees’ 5-3 win over the Blue Jays at the Stadium.

“Voting rights are a pillar of this country and as long as it’s legally done, it should be something that’s easy for somebody to go out and vote.

Deivi Garcia is among the minor leaguers at the team’s alternate site in Scranton, which is “up and running,” according to Boone.
