Baseball is going to be in the Olympics in 2028 and there are serious discussions that MLB players are going to be able to participate in the Olympic Games. There are some logistics but they're talking about having baseball early and have it around the All Star break so before opening ceremonies.
The Carribbean World Series took place in Miami a week ago it was a huge hit. Look for more Carribbean World Series games to take place at MLB parks. For those that don't know, Latin American countries like Cuba, the Dominican, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Mexico have pro baseball leagues with MLB players on them that play in the winter. Those leagues are hugely popular in their countries and the atmosphere at the games is awesome. Hopefully they'll bring it and the WBC to Houston where it is closeish to me.
Both are huge opportunities for MLB to grow internationally and it's going to be awesome to see! All built on the heels of the WBC. Speaking of the WBC you're about to see insurance companies and MLB pitchers work out deals where they can participate as MLB pitchers are wanting to represent their countries- Team USA in particular.
Don't be surprised to see more MLB teams playing "friendlies" against international teams too. The Yankees are playing the Mexico City Red Devils this year in an exhibition game.
Going to be a lot of fun for me!!
