ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Baseball will continue its dance with the Olympics in 2020 when it returns to the Tokyo games.
The International Olympic Committee approved the return of baseball, along with softball, this week for the 2020 games – if the Olympics manage to survive Rio de Janeiro.
What that means for baseball, and its future beyond Tokyo, is as murky as the waters rowers will sludge through in Brazil. The game comes, and the game goes from the Olympics. And it appears Major League Baseball could care very little, one way or the other.
