And certainly if we d ecided to get serious about this, about a midseason tournament, this would be an ideal opportunity.” 大联盟主席Rob Manfred周三在接受美联社访问时表示 「很显然我们在2028年之前，与FOX之间对於季中明星赛有既定合约」 「随着这项运动持续演变，我们也讨论过季中举办国际赛的可能性，如果我们真的认真考虑 这件事，WBC会是一个理想的机会」 Fan interest for the WBC continues to grow 球迷对世界棒球经典赛（WBC）的关注持续成长 This year’s WBC drew 1,619,839 fans for 47 games, a 24% increase over the previ ous high of 1,306,414 in 2023. The initial tournament in 2006 drew 740,451 for 3 9 games. 今年WBC在47场比赛中共吸引1,619,839名观众进场，较2023年创下的1,306,414人纪录成长2 4%；而2006年首届赛事39场比赛仅吸引740,451人。 The most-watched 2006 matchup was Mexico’s second-round win over the U.S. at 2. 46 million on ESPN 2006年收视最高的一场比赛，是墨西哥在第二轮击败美国，於ESPN吸引246万观众。 This year’s most-viewed game through Sunday was the Americans’ semifinal victo ry over the Dominican Republic at 7.37 million on FS1 and Fox Deportes.

We set an attendance record after t he early play. By the time we got into the semis and the final it was all gravy. 「现在的规模与2006年起步时已经完全不可同日而语」Manfred表示 「我觉得这一届已经提升到不同层次，我们在赛事前段就创下进场纪录，到了准决赛与决赛 阶段，一切都顺风顺水」 Could the Olympics be next? 下一步会是奥运吗？ MLB and the players’ association are negotiating over having big leaguers parti cipate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The six-nation baseball tournament, whi ch includes the U.S. Dominican Republic and Venezuela, would be played during an extended All-Star break. That event could impact the decision on when the seven th WBC will be played. MLB与球员工会目前正在协商，让大联盟球员参加2028年洛杉矶奥运，这项包含美国、多明 尼加与委内瑞拉在内的六队棒球赛事，预计会安排在延长的明星赛周期间进行，这项安排可 能会影响第七届WBC的举办时间 MLB and the players’ association have matching equity shares that are the most in the WBC, with Nippon Professional Baseball, the Korea Baseball Organization a nd the World Baseball Softball Confederation owning minority stakes. MLB与球员工会在WBC中持有最多且相同的股权，而日本职棒、韩国职棒以及世界棒垒球总会 （WBSC）则持有较小比例的股份 “The issue for us is whether we do it in ‘29 or in ‘30, three years or four y ears? I’m getting a lot of email from people today saying don’t make us wait f our more years for this,” Manfred said. “I do think a three- or four-year cycl e is probably about right for the event. The timing is going to turn on what we do with respect to related sorts of international efforts. I remain optimistic a bout the Olympics and obviously if we play in the Olympics it’s a short time fr om July of ‘28 ‘till the spring of 29 and that’s something we’ll have to tak e into account. I’m not saying it’s outcome determinative, but it’s something we’ll have to think about.” 「我们现在的问题是要在2029还是2030举办，是三年还是四年一届？我今天已经收到很多信 件，大家都说不要再让他们等四年」Manfred表示 「我认为三年或四年的周期都算合理，至於时间安排，将取决於我们在其他国际赛事上的规 划，我对奥运仍然抱持乐观态度」 「而如果我们参加2028年奥运，那从2028年7月到2029年春天的间隔会很短，这点我们必须 纳入考量，这不一定是决定性因素，但确实是需要思考的问题。」 https://x.com/foulterritorytv/status/2034317658531975359 "Every player wants to do it. Everybody wants to be out there competing for thei r country." Max Scherzer has an idea for timing of the WBC in order to help with the risk fa ctor associated with the tournament: ‧ Push the WBC back two weeks ‧ Drop a week from the regular season 薛蛇的想法是WBC延後两周打 然後那个改成两阶段的只是一个TA写手自己的意见而已吧 https://i.imgur.com/vAZIDMq.jpeg 这次WBC的营收比上一届翻倍的样子 https://reurl.cc/np5o3n MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred marveled at the rapid growth of the World Baseball Classic in recent tournaments prior to Venezuela’s victory Wednesday over the U .S. in the 2026 championship game. 在委内瑞拉於2026年冠军战击败美国之前，Rob Manfred 对近几届世界棒球经典赛（WBC） 的快速成长感到惊叹 “The early years of the WBC were tough. It was hard. And hard to attract attent ion. Hard to get clubs to buy in. But I think that the last two (WBC events), in particular, the popularity of the event has gotten the players more engaged, an d once the players are more engaged, you can really grow,” Manfred said on MLB Network. 「WBC早期的发展其实很艰难，非常困难，不但难以吸引关注，也很难让球团支持，但我认 为特别是最近两届赛事，随着赛事人气上升，球员的投入程度也提高，而当球员更投入时， 这项赛事就能真正成长」Manfred在MLB Network上表示 “I didn’t think it was going to get this big this fast, but it is a real jewel , a real gem, that’s going to be a big part of the growth of the game going for ward.” 「我没想到它会在这麽短时间内成长到这麽大规模，但它确实是一颗真正的明珠，未来将会 是推动棒球发展的重要一环」 Netflix secured the Japanese rights to the WBC for over $100M, and revenues have doubled from the previous tournament – with Venezuelan players receiving over $100,000 each in prize money for winning it all. Netflix 以超过1亿美元取得WBC在日本的转播权，WBC 整体收入也比上一届翻倍——而夺冠 的委内瑞拉球员每人可分得超过10万美元的奖金。 注： 2023总奖金14M 2026总奖金37M Manfred wants to replicate the successes MLB has had in Japan and South Korea wi th Latin America. Manfred希望将MLB在日本与南韩的成功经验复制到拉丁美洲 “Latin American countries, particularly the ones where we get a lot of players, are really leaning in. There’s a lot of talk in the Dominican about really bui lding a bigger facility, so that we could play regular-season games in the Domin ican. That would be a great development for our Dominican players, a great devel opment for the sport,” Manfred said. 「拉丁美洲国家，特别是那些我们有大量球员来源的国家，现在都非常积极参与，多明尼加 目前也在讨论兴建更大型的球场，让我们未来能在当地举办例行赛，这对多明尼加球员、对 整个运动发展都是好事，」Manfred表示 “We need to lean in and grow those markets, just like we’ve leaned in in Japan and Korea, in terms of making the game as big as it can possibly be.” 「我们需要加强投入、拓展这些市场，就像我们在日本与韩国所做的一样，让棒球的规模尽 可能扩大」 Italy, the tournament darling, could also be a place for baseball growth. 本届赛事的黑马——义大利，也可能成为棒球发展的新据点 “Growing the game in places where we don’t have a lot of play right now,” Man fred said. “That’s the most important thing about this event, at the end of th e day.” 「在目前棒球发展较少的地区推广这项运动，」Manfred表示 「这才是这项赛事最重要的意义」 https://i.imgur.com/VUPy3oX.jpeg WBC年底前也要开始下一届主办地竞标程序了 https://reurl.cc/lpRbkd About six MLB clubs have already expressed interest in hosting in the future, sa id Jeremiah Yolkut,MLB’s senior vice president for global operations and events .

Then by the end of the year, the RFPs will likely be sent out. MLB会先完善其「提案徵求书」（RFP）的内容，也就是对主办球场的各项要求规格：从城市 中的饭店房间数量，到球场内提供给媒体的空间等都包含在内，接着这些RFP很可能会在年 底前正式发出 目前已有报导的想要争办的除了迈阿密 还有赌城（绿帽新球场） — 运动画刊最新封面 https://i.imgur.com/cv6BL0O.jpeg --
