The midsummer classic is coming to the state of Texas.
The All-Star Game will be hosted by the Texas Rangers for the second time in 24 years. Globe Life Field, which opened in 2020, will be the site of the first All-Star Game in the new century.
The World Series was hosted by Globe Life Field and the Rangers stepped up under difficult circumstances. Baseball's newest ballpark will be featured on a global stage in the summer of 2020.
There has been no announcement on who will host the game in the future, but it is certain that the game will be hosted by the SeattleMariners in 2023 and the PhiladelphiaPhillies in 2026.
Pete Rose apologized for his 1980s gambling scandal in a letter he sent to the Hall of Fame, but in a news conference at MLB's offices, Commissioner Rob Manfred addressed the letter. Baseball players who bet on the game should be on the permanently ineligible list, according to the man.

FTX, the firm that collapsed in recent weeks, won't be returning as a sponsor in the year 2023. Umpires had FTX on their uniforms during the 2022.

The league and the MLBPA are currently in negotiations over a collective bargaining agreement. The league and MLBPA haven't had discussions that were beyond their goals.
It would be easiest to get it done during the off-season. The expectation would be to get something done before the start of the baseball season.
MLB University is a career development program for mid-level front office executives that will prepare them for advancement to senior baseball operations or on-field roles. Senior vice president for on field operations Michael Hill is leading the program.
The league is committed to the requirement that teams interview minorities. In order to fill vacancies for managers, general managers, assistant general managers, scouting directors and minor league directors, teams must interview minorities.
"We don't see it as either an educational undertaking or an interview requirement." It's important that you have the best possible candidates available for interviews. The curriculum of MLB University is more detailed than anything we've done before.
