The Reds would play three games against the Montreal Expos in Puerto Rico under a plan to be presented to baseball owners today.
While the proposal still hasn't been finalized, baseball officials are discussing having the Expos play 10 home games in April at San Juan's Hiram Bithorn Stadium against the Mets (April 11-14), Atlanta (April 15-17) and the Reds (April 18-20), several baseball officials said Tuesday on the condition they not be identified.
In addition, possible games in San Juan include an interleague series against the World Series champion Anaheim Angels (June 3-5) and a matchup with Sammy Sosa and the Chicago Cubs (Sept. 9-11).
Negotiations are ongoing between the commissioner's office and the players' association.
"It doesn't affect me where we play," Expos manager Frank Robinson said Tuesday after agreeing to come back for a second season in Montreal. "It will be great to play in front of the people down there. They're great fans."
