MLB Stars Eye 2028 Olympics Return

For the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, breaking will be dropped from the roster, while baseball and softball will return after being absent in 2024. The inclusion of baseball raises questions about whether Major League Baseball (MLB) players will participate, as they have historically not been allowed due to the regular season schedule. There's growing enthusiasm among MLB stars like Bryce Harper and Shohei Ohtani to compete, which could influence the decision. Predictions suggest that if MLB players do participate, young talents like Paul Skenes and established stars like Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper could be key players for Team USA. However, logistical challenges and health risks, highlighted by past incidents like Edwin Díaz’s injury, remain significant considerations for MLB and the Olympic organizers.
