Major League Baseball announced<\/a> Friday that the 2028 MLB All-Star Game will be played at the San Francisco Giants’ Oracle Park.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid MLB’s attempt to have its players participate in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred told reporters<\/a>, “There are some issues with the MLBPA that we just need to resolve. I sense a lot of momentum towards playing in L.A. in 2028. I think we’re going to get over those issues.”<\/p>\n

As noted by Bob Nightengale<\/a> of USA Today, holding the 2028 All-Star Game in San Francisco ensures a “short flight” for players to L.A. for the Olympics should they be permitted to play.<\/p>\n

MLB’s current collective bargaining agreement expires in December, and while a potential salary cap is the most pressing issue to address, Olympic participation figures to be part of the discussion as well.<\/p>\n

Whether MLB players competing in the Olympics for the first time ever comes to fruition or not, the All-Star Game will be in a familiar locale in 2028.<\/p>\n

San Francisco played host to the All-Star Game three times previously with the most recent occasion being in 2007.<\/p>\n

That was also the first time the MLB All-Star Game was held at what is now called Oracle Park, as the 1961 and 1984 All-Star Games in San Francisco took place at Candlestick Park.<\/p>\n

When the 2028 MLB All-Star Game occurs, San Francisco will be tied with Boston and Detroit as the city that has hosted the All-Star Game the ninth-most times.<\/p>\n

Barring a potential lockout that causes games to be canceled, the 2027 MLB All-Star Game is slated for Wrigley Field in Chicago next year.<\/p>\n

That will represent the seventh All-Star Game to be played in Chicago and the fourth at Wrigley Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Major League Baseball announced Friday that the 2028 MLB All-Star Game will be played at the San Francisco…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":857969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-857968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=857968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/857969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=857968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=857968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=857968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
