Aaron Judge \'All In\' For Olympics If MLB Players Are Allowed 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Aug 12, 2024 12:21 pm

Baseball and softball will return in 2028 when Los Angeles hosts the Summer Olympics.

There has been a big push from Major League players to participate in the 2028 games.

Currently, players on Major League 40-man rosters are not eligible for the Olympics.

\"I\'d love to play. If they give us the opportunity -- I don\'t know what the ruling or anything has come out about that -- but I\'m all in on that,\" Judge told the New York Post.

\"... There\'s very few opportunities to get to do that and especially, hopefully, in the prime of my career where I can still do it and make an impact, I\'d love to. I\'ve never represented my country before, never got invited to those Team USA (camps as an amateur), never really made the cut for those. Hopefully now I can make the cut.\"

Judge will be 36 come the 2028 Olympics.
