With the scheduled date of the 2020 All-Star Game, scheduled for Dodger Stadium, now just 11 days away and a 60-game season now planned for later this month, it was clear that the ASG wasn’t going to be played this year.
Friday, MLB officially cancelled the event and awarded the 2022 ASG to the Dodgers. The 2021 ASG will remain in Atlanta’s Truist Park.
“Once it became clear we were unable to hold this year’s All-Star festivities, we wanted to award the Dodgers with the next available All-Star Game, which is 2022,” said Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred in a statement.
