"The 2028 Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, with baseball already being announced as one of the sports on the schedule. It marks the seventh time that baseball will be featured in the Olympics and the first since the 2020 games, when Japan defeated the United States to win the gold medal. Unlike previous years when mostly collegiate and Minor League players represented the United States baseball team, there is growing optimism that Major Leaguers will be able to participate in the 2028 Summer Olympics."
"It would also be fitting for Roberts to manage Team USA in the 2028 Summer Olympics given that Dodger Stadium is the host venue for the baseball games. Whether MLB stars will be able to participate is going to depend on the league and Players Association reaching an agreement with LA28, the organizing committee for the 2028 Olympics. The 2028 Summer Olympic baseball games will be held July 13-19, which coincides with MLB All-Star Week."
Los Angeles will host the 2028 Summer Olympics and baseball is confirmed on the program for the seventh Olympic appearance of the sport, its first since Japan defeated the United States for gold in 2020. Expectations are rising that Major League players might be available, unlike prior U.S. teams made up mainly of collegiate and Minor League talent. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts publicly expressed a desire to lead Team USA, citing his UCLA background and role managing the Dodgers. Dodger Stadium will host the baseball competition, but MLB player participation depends on an agreement between the league, the Players Association, and LA28. The Olympic baseball dates, July 13–19, overlap MLB All-Star Week, potentially requiring an extended All-Star break.
