MLB Players In The 2028 Olympics? MLB, MLBPA Have Work To Do

MLB and the players’ union are in early talks about big-leaguers playing baseball at the 2028 LA Olympics — players are generally eager but want guarantees on travel, hotels and overall quality of life, while MLB wants its top stars and is even considering mandatory participation.
MLB is planning an extended 11-day All‑Star break around the Games: last regular‑season games July 9, All‑Star Game likely in San Francisco July 11, Olympic tournament at Dodger Stadium July 13–19, season resumes July 21.
MLB has proposed raising the minimum signing age for amateurs in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico to 20 (to encourage college and player development).
