Rob Manfred: Cubs could host All-Star game in near future

Share

It's been 25 years since the Cubs last hosted an All-Star game, but that drought may be coming to an end sooner rather than later with the renovations taking place on the north side.

The Cubs appear to have three more years of work after this offseason, but that would put them in line for an All-Star game maybe in the 2019 or 2020 season.

MLB commissioner spoke Rob Manfred about the proposition as a guest on "Inside the Clubhouse" on 670 The Score on Saturday.

“I think that it makes most sense for the All-Star game to occur after the renovations are complete," Manfred said. “I think it provides the Cubs and the Ricketts family an opportunity to showcase the unbelievable renovation for Wrigley Field.

"I think that what we're going to be looking to do is have a open and competitive process to allow cities to compete for games before we announce any further locations for the All-Star games."
