** MLB Scraps Plans for Regular-Season Games in San Juan, Mexico City Next Year; Tokyo Opener Still On
MLB has cancelled plans to play regular-season games in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Mexico City next year. The decision was made due to economic concerns, with Commissioner Rob Manfred stating that the arrangements did not make "economic sense" for the league.
The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers will still open the 2025 season with two games in Tokyo, as previously announced. This move is part of MLB's ongoing effort to expand its international reach and appeal.
Despite the cancellation of these games, the league has expressed interest in returning to San Juan and Mexico City in future seasons. The decision reflects the evolving nature of the baseball calendar and the ongoing challenges of hosting international games.
