Yankees fans in the tri-state area breathed a sigh of relief after YES Network and Comcast came to an 11th-hour deal to avert a blackout.

A last-minute deal will keep the Yankees games on Comcast cable. The games were going to leave if a deal was not reached by end of Monday.

Late Monday evening, Comcast and the YES Network issued a joint statement saying an agreement has been reached that keeps the regional sports network on Xfinity TV systems in the New York City metropolitan area.
