MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL (MLB) confirmed on Monday that they will not play a regular-season game in London next year.
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in January that his staff was working hard at playing in London and MLB officials looked at the renovated Olympic Stadium as a possible venue. The Boston Red Sox likely would have been one of the teams involved.
“There was discussion about London early on,” union head Tony Clark said Monday. “Unfortunately there were a number of moving pieces related to London that shortened our window in an effort to try to find common ground on that happening, and we weren’t able to get it done in time.”
