Baseball appears set to return to the Olympics for the 2020 Tokyo Games. Major leaguers may balk.
“It’s not going to happen. I don’t think it’s fathomable,” Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw said.
Astros shortstop Carlos Correa wasn’t sure he’d play for a gold medal even if he could.
“2020 will be my year before free agency,” he said. “We’ll see in 2020 what my situation is, and we’ll go from there.”
Baseball became a medal sport for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics but was dropped for the 2012 London Games and won’t be played this year in Rio de Janeiro.
