Bryce Harper Champions MLB Olympic Participation, Foresees Potential CBA Hurdles
Bryce Harper has publicly advocated for MLB players to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, believing it would significantly boost the sport’s global reach. However, potential labor negotiations and a possible work stoppage between MLB owners and the Players Association could complicate efforts to secure a break in the schedule for Olympic participation.
