Commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday that Major League Baseball is "trying to iron through (the) logistics" that would allow MLB players to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. MLB officials met with Olympic representatives earlier this week and both the league and players have interest in Olympic participation.

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympic schedule has been released with exactly three years to go before competition begins. With the Opening Ceremony on July 14, 2028 -- which will be split between LA Memorial Coliseum and the 2028 Stadium in Inglewood just to the south -- the games will feature a new record of 351 medal events over a two-week run.
