The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers face each other this weekend at Wrigley Field, but a year from now they\'ll likely be doing the same in Japan to open the 2025 season.
MLB has yet to make that official, but Nippon Professional Baseball commissioner Sadayuki Sakakibara said Wednesday that MLB has slated March 19 and 20 for next year\'s season-opening series.
But Sakakibara did not reveal who will be playing. In the meantime, this weekend\'s three-game set will be highlighted by matchups of four prominent Japanese-born players.
