Red Sox included in MLB’s ‘Home Run Derby X’ tournament

Major League Baseball unveiled a new plan for a home run derby-style event on Wednesday, and the Red Sox are one of four teams that will be represented in the competition.

The event will pit four MLB teams (Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, and Dodgers) against each other in a version of home run derby. It will also be played in three venues on three different continents: London, Seoul, and Mexico City.

According to an MLB.com story on the event, the only specific venue that’s been established so far is London’s Crystal Palace Park.

The rules will differ from traditional home run derby.
