Blue Jays discussing possible bid for 2027 All-Star Game with Major League Baseball

LOS ANGELES – The Toronto Blue Jays are talking to Major League Baseball about a possible bid to host the 2027 All-Star Game, after the Rogers Centre is through an upcoming renovation, according to two industry sources.
...
The Blue Jays have only hosted the event once, back in 1991 during the dome’s second full season, and are certainly due to stage another. That contest was a 4-2 American League win, with Hall of Fame shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. the game’s MVP.
...
Hosting the all-star game would be an opportunity to showcase a refurbishment for the dome expected to begin this fall and take place over two off-seasons.
Final plans aren’t yet known, but initial discussions included the outfield being redone with elevated bullpens and asymmetric walls this winter (some season-ticket subscribers were recently informed that they’ll be relocated in 2023). The rest of the lower bowl reset will start in the off-season to follow.
