When will the NL East play the AL West again, and are the Nats going to play in Seattle or will it just be Seattle in our Park?
You just never know.  This was Boston's first visit to Nats Park in years.  Otherwise I assume we play the Central next year and then the West in 2020??

That would be awesome if we play them there...depending on when...we have a trip to Hawaii penciled in for next June and have wanted to go to Seattle...would be a perfect way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone...

You can go to Hawaii anytime.    ;)

Thanks...did you see this nugget in all of that:

We need to remember we are talking 2019 and 2020. Forget Bryce Harper and his Washington Nationals, chances are he won’t be there.

All the more reason to stay in Seattle.    I quit goin' to mine.    However, if the missus decides to go to one of hers (Radford), I may tag along.    :)

Nats played AL west last year. Should play the AL central next year, right? I’m looking forward to seeing the Tigers. I might go back to Michigan for those games.

There is apparently a waiting list of ~12 teams who volunteered for London 2019 and are eager to do London 2020. MLB picked the Yankees and Red Sox because baseball is still fairly unloved in the UK and they needed to make a big splash, as opposed to Tokyo, who get the Mariners and A’s in 2019... there is the connection to Ichiro there though...but the Japanese love baseball already, while the Brits require a marquee matchup.

There is also another Asia series in 2020, rumored to be Taiwan. Look for the west coast teams to get the Asia series again and the east coast teams to head to London again.

Really looking forward to these London games!

Cleveland's in play for me.    However, I think we played 'em there last time.

Of course you never know if they will play the Tigers in Detroit or DC.  I will have it on my watch list also for next season.

I don't think that necessarily means anything.  They played in Boston several times with no Sawx visit here.

Maybe you can catch a game in Balmore?

I don't think so.    OT   I was lookin' for MASN2 and came upon the Oreos/Yanks game.    I was amazed at the empty stadium.

2020. Next year will be the Central. We played the West last year. I'm hoping the Nats play in Minnesota. I'd love an excuse to visit the Twin Cities and their new place.
