Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2025 8:51 pm
Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and players\' union head Tony Clark say plans are moving ahead to explore the possibility of using major leaguers in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, a tournament that could be played on an extended All-Star break.
\"I think it is a opportunity to market the game on a really global stage,\" Manfred told the Baseball Writers\' Association of America on Tuesday. \"Obviously the clubs are going to have to endorse this. I mean, this it\'s a big deal.\"
MLB met with Los Angeles organizers Monday in Atlanta ahead of the All-Star Game, and Manfred said the Olympic officials were meeting with the Major League Baseball Players Association.
