Confusion Breaks Out Over MLB All-Star Game.
News broke Thursday from The Score claiming that MLB had awarded the 2027 All-Star Game to the Cubs. This would allow Wrigley Field to host the long-sought-after event.
However, the Chicago Cubs have officially denied the report. They issued a statement on the matter, saying "no decision has been made."
The Cubs have only hosted three All-Star Games, the most recent being in 1990.
According to the Chicago Tribune, "MLB tends to make its All-Star Game announcements at a mutually acceptable date to the club to get maximum publicity for its TV networks and corporate sponsors, so speculation that the decision has been made but was prematurely leaked seems plausible."
Bruce Levine, one of the reporters for The Score and Marquee Sports Network, later clarified that the All-Star Game would be "awarded to the Cubs sometime this summer."
This begs the question: Who is telling the truth? Did The Score made a mistake, or are The Cubs trying to keep things under wraps for a summer announcement?
