With MLB in full off-season mode, the hot stove will get the majority of the attention during the winter months. But the league on Thursday revealed a news item relevant to the 2024 season.
It was announced that the Texas Rangers will be the hosts for the 2024 All-Star Game. This will mark the Midsummer Classic’s return to Arlington for the first time since 1995 and the second time in franchise history. This will be the first All-Star Game played at Globe Life Field, which opened in 2020.
Rob Manfred said in a statement. “The Rangers stepped up under difficult circumstances and Globe Life Field served as a terrific host for the 2020 Postseason, including the World Series. We are excited to once again feature Baseball’s newest ballpark on a global stage next summer."
"The Texas Rangers are honored to be awarded the 2024 All-Star Game,” Rangers majority owner and managing partner Ray Davis said. "With the opening of Globe Life Field in 2020 and the incredible development that continues to take place around the park, Arlington is an ideal location to host Major League Baseball and the Midsummer Classic.
