Rob Manfred Optimistic MLB Will Participate In 2028 Olympics
The 2028 Olympics (LA28) are coming to Los Angeles, and among the highlights is the return of baseball and softball to the games.
Baseball was last included as an official Olympic event during the Tokyo 2021 Summer Olympics, with the United States taking home silver. However, the International Olympic Committee elected not to include baseball for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.
However, in previous years, when baseball was in the Olympics, it only included amateur players because it interfered with MLB’s schedule. But both MLB and the Players Association are open to the idea of participating this time around.
