MLB, union could let players in 2028 Olympics during extended all-star break
Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and players' union head Tony Clark say plans are moving ahead exploring 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 an 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 8 p.m. ET all-star game and Manfred said the Olympic officials were meeting with the Major League Baseball Players Association. "There's a lot of work that still needs to be done," Clark told the BBWAA in a separate session. "We do know players are interested in playing, whether it's for the Team USA or any number of other teams around the world. … There's just a lot of conversation that needs to be had sooner rather than later to see how viable this is, but we're hopeful that we can figure our way through it for the benefit of the game." The World Baseball Softball Confederation said Monday the baseball tournament will be played from July 15-20 at Dodger Stadium. MLB is considering whether it can interrupt its 2028 season to allow major leaguers to participate, which could necessitate changes to the sport's national television contracts. "They put out a schedule. They tell you it's not going to move. We'll see whether there's any movement on that," Manfred said. "It is possible to take it, to play the all-star game in its normal spot, have a single break that would be longer, obviously, but still play 162 games without bleeding into the middle of November. That is possible, OK? It would require significant accommodations, but it's possible." MLB did not allow players on 40-man rosters to participate in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, when Nippon Professional Baseball interrupted its season and Japan beat the U.S. 2-0 in the gold-medal game. "In the event that major league players are going to play, what does that mean and what does that look like?" Clark said. "And perhaps just as importantly, what does it mean for those players who aren't participating?
