Commissioner Rob Manfred was open to major leaguers participating in the 2028 Olympics, but historical obstacles exist. Baseball's exclusion in Paris 2024 and Tokyo 2021, where only non-40-man roster players competed due to health risks, creates uncertainty for MLB's involvement.
A suggested compromise for the Olympics is to exclude active major leaguers but allow top prospects to participate. This approach could mirror the All-Star Futures Game and potentially increase interest with the inclusion of prominent minor leaguers.
