LA Olympics schedule could kill any chance of seeing Dodgers compete

In 2028, Los Angeles will host the Summer Olympics for the third time in the city's history, and Dodger Stadium will play a prominent role. Baseball hasn't always been a mainstay sport in the games and was left out of last year's competitions in Paris, but it'll return as a tournament sport in LA with games played out at the Dodgers' home field.

The question of whether or not MLB players will compete in the Olympics has gone unanswered so far, but it's likely that it'll be left to the teams' discretion. While major leaguers didn't appear to be explicitly banned from the World Baseball Classic in 2023, teams seemed to discourage their pitchers in particular from competing.
