BOSTON (AP) – The Boston Red Sox are in discussions with the NHL to hold the next Winter Classic at Fenway Park.

A baseball official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because no deal had been reached, confirmed that Fenway is a site being considered for the next New Year’s Day game.

Red Sox spokeswoman Pam Ganley referred questions to the NHL. A league spokesman said no decision had been made.
