MLB commissioner Rob Manfred hopes to include local TV rights, including perhaps those of the Orioles, in the league’s next broadcast deal.

ATLANTA — More than nine months have passed since the Pohlad family announced its intention to explore a sale of the Minnesota Twins, but the delay in finding a buyer, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said on Tuesday, does not mean there are no bidders willing to meet the Pohlads’ price.

The game is scheduled only through 2026, when it will be at Citizens Bark Park in Philadelphia. The 2027 game is expected to be at Wrigley Field in Chicago, which last hosted in 1990.

The Twins sale process has moved slowly with Justin Ishbia dropping out, but Manfred insists that it is still on track to be completed.

A TLANTA – As MLB commissioner Rob Manfred looks to improve competitive balance in the league, Tony Clark, the executive director of the MLB Players Association, made his position on the possibility of a salary cap abundantly clear on Tuesday. "This is institutionalized collusion," Clark said. "That's what a salary cap is."

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said nothing is off the table when it comes to potential expansion, including the return of a second MLB team to the Bay Area.

"It's doable, yeah, it's possible you could play," commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday during his annual midseason meeting with the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
