According to a report by Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Giants are the leading candidate to host the 2028 MLB All-Star Game. Per Slusser’s reporting, the league and MLB Player’s Association appears to be gravitating toward allowing MLB players to participate in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, which makes other west coast sites preferable for the midsummer classic. The plan would be to utilize an extended All-Star break to support the tournament.
“The momentum appears to be in favor of allowing Olympic participation, coinciding with a longer All-Star break — and in that case, one league source told the Chronicle, the San Francisco Giants’ Oracle Park would be the front-runner for the All-Star Game,” Slusser wrote.
