Bryce Harper has expressed an interest in playing for Team USA in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Baseball and softball will return to the Olympics in 2028 after being played on a trial basis in 2020 and not being played at 2012 and 2016.
Harper thinks Major League Baseball should take a page out of the NHL\'s book and pause for the national competition.
\"There\'s nothing more worldwide than the Olympics,\" Harper said. \"I watch the most random sports in the Olympics because it\'s the Olympics, and that\'s really cool. I love hockey. It\'s one of my favorite sports to watch. To see (the NHL) take that three-week break and let those guys go play, that\'s another big goal that we should have as Major League Baseball.
\"I\'ve talked to numerous people with MLB about it. I would love to be a part of that. We have the WBC, but it\'s not the same. It\'s not. The Olympics is something that you dream about playing in.\"
Currently only amateurs and professional players not on the 40-man roster are allowed to participate in the Olympics.
