MLB Players May Participate in 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

A proposal to integrate MLB players into the 2028 Olympics could align the tournament with the MLB All-Star break, minimizing regular season disruptions.

• Casey Wasserman's proposal to MLB owners outlines a plan for baseball's inclusion in the 2028 Olympics with minimal impact on the regular season.
• The Olympic baseball tournament could replace the traditional All-Star break, potentially including an All-Star Game or Home Run Derby in Los Angeles.
• Insurance and travel costs for players are significant considerations, with Olympic committees expected to cover at least some expenses.
• The NHL's recent agreement to allow player participation in the Olympics serves as a precedent for MLB's potential involvement.
• MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is expected to address the proposal and other league issues following the owners' meeting.
