The challenges are obvious because the summer Olympics occur during the regular season, and MLB players’ participation in the MLB side will require a cessation of some types of schedule. This was not a problem with the last summer Olympics in Paris, as baseball was not part of the programming of those games. This is because baseball is not a repetitive flagship of summer games, but rather falls in the “host’s legal” category. Because baseball is not a particularly popular sport in France, the host people did not choose it for 2024 games. Despite LA games Baseball and Softball will be in desireAnd that means that it is a difficult decision for MLB INSOFAR, because the participation of its players is concerned. Manfred said in this matter:

“Current conversations with LA 28, you know that it is a difficult task for us that many players will be involved, you know that they can be involved in our season and the participation of the leading players of the League.

“We see that LA 28, as a, you know, a real opportunity to market.”

There is little clarity here, and really messages are mixed. On the one hand, Manfred quotes the “mass disruption” of the Olympic Games, but will soon leave the sport. Another consideration is that a number of great players: Brice Harper, Aaron Judge, and among others, have expressed different degrees of MLB players in the Olympics. Their votes will undoubtedly hear when it is time to make a decision near 2028.

These 2028 games will first indicate that baseball is part of the programming since the 2020/2021 Olympic Games of Tokyo, when the Japan team took “Gold.” Baseball was a random presence at the Olympics since 1904, despite an unofficial, non-medal sport. Finally, baseball became a medal in “Barcelona” (Cuba won gold). In 1996, softball reached the same status, and two sports were medal measures. However, two sports were returned to the above and 2016.

Thus, we know that baseball will return to the Olympic Games in 2028. What we don’t know is the best and most famous baseball players in the world will be part of the action.
