it's precisely because they are not allowed to play in the Olympics that they refuse to give baseball a spot

Olympics used to be for "everyone", but now the IOC only want the best available

also >we could probably not send a team, as in Europe Netherland, Italy and Germany are better at it.

Team USA couldn't exist because they would all fail their WADA drug tests

There's no point in having a competition where you don't allow the actually good players play.

Team USA would be a few second-tier all-stars (none of them pitchers) and a bunch of mediocre players, because MLB would never let a large number of superstars risk injury for some meme international tournament.

no one relevant. I would love to see a true team USA in the WBC, but it will never happen.

just make the little league world series an olympic thing

Team USA would still be dominant but some south american and chink teams would be good too

The WBC will never be relevant
Players will tend to pick spring training over an irrelevant competition (it's on MLB Network ffs) and it's controlled by the MLB
Their interests will always interfere

I was hoping that maybe they'll see the Olympics as an avenue to the international markets they're not in, following the NBA's example
But it would never happen unfortunately

>If baseball was to be given back its olympic status
it won't. no countries care about it

>should major league players get a chance to play in it?
doesn't matter, mlb won't allow it
