MLB Approves Cubs Hosting 2027 All-Star Game at Historic Wrigley Field

Major League Baseball has approved the Chicago Cubs to host the 2027 All-Star Game at Wrigley Field, marking the first time a stadium over 100 years old will host the event, with Wrigley Field being 113 years old at that time. This will be the fourth All-Star Game held at Wrigley Field and the first since 1990, following significant renovations costing roughly $1 billion. The Cubs are actively seeking to strengthen their pitching staff, showing interest in veteran right-hander Lucas Giolito from the Boston Red Sox, though it remains uncertain if Boston will trade him. Additionally, the team is linked to a possible reunion with All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman, who could bolster their bullpen for a playoff push. On the offensive side, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki have made history as the first Cubs duo to each reach 25 home runs before the team’s 95th game, contributing to the Cubs' strong position atop the National League Central. These moves and performances position the Cubs as serious contenders aiming for postseason success.
