Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred once again indicated that Toronto Blue Zais is in line to host an upcoming all-star game, although he reduced to a time limit for a return to Rogers Center.

Speaking during a meeting of the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday, Manfred said, “Really an important factor in terms of All-Star Games, when you had the last time? It’s not the only fixation factor, but it is an important.”
“Obviously, (Blue Jais) is like reaching the top of the list based on time,” he continued. “I want to come back to Toronto. Rogers has really invested important in terms of improvement in the stadium. TBD at this point, beyond it.”

Union Leader Tony Clarke, who also addressed the BBWAA meeting, said that the players are interested in participating if the logistics involved in stopping the season and various issues bound by it could be disposed of, and Manfred indicated that the front would soon be discussed between the parties.
Participation in the Olympics will not necessarily be out of the 2028 all-star game, Manfred said, “It is possible to play the all-star game at its normal place, a single break that will be long, obviously, but still still play 162 games without bleeding in the middle of November. Play 162 games. It is possible. It is possible. It is possible, but it is possible, but it is possible.”
