Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced that MLB will not consider hosting a game at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. This decision comes after local officials and community members expressed concerns following a report from The Washington Post suggesting the park was under consideration. Manfred stated in letters to concerned parties that while MLB had been conducting preliminary research on various potential sites, it had not yet reached the stage of evaluating environmental impact or consulting with the community. He concluded that Grand Teton National Park would no longer be considered due to local opposition and concern for preserving the park's natural integrity.

Story summary
Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred sent a letter on Thursday to officials in Wyoming and New Mexico stating that MLB will not consider staging a game at Grand Teton National Park. The decision came after a report by The Washington Post suggested that Grand Teton was under consideration for an MLB game, prompting objections from local leaders concerned about environmental impacts. In his letter, Manfred noted that while the league had initially conducted preliminary research on various potential sites, it had not yet reached the stage of evaluating environmental impact or consulting with the community. He assured that these steps would have been part of any formal process should it proceed further but now concluded Grand Teton will no longer be considered. The National Parks Conservation Association expressed gratitude for MLB's decision, emphasizing the park’s importance to millions of annual visitors and its natural beauty.
