T ournament rules include pitch count restrictions, and teams can demand tougher l imits or deny players permission to participate. 自2006年創辦以來，WBC一直是在春訓期間舉行，賽事規則包含投球數限制，而球團也可以 要求更嚴格的限制，甚至拒絕球員參賽 “Obviously we have commitments to Fox in terms of the All-Star Game in the midd le of the season through ’28,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Wednesda y during an interview with The Associated Press. “As the game continues to evol ve, we have talked about midseason tournaments in general. And certainly if we d ecided to get serious about this, about a midseason tournament, this would be an ideal opportunity.” 大聯盟主席Rob Manfred週三在接受美聯社訪問時表示 「很顯然我們在2028年之前，與FOX之間對於季中明星賽有既定合約」 「隨著這項運動持續演變，我們也討論過季中舉辦國際賽的可能性，如果我們真的認真考慮 這件事，WBC會是一個理想的機會」 Fan interest for the WBC continues to grow 球迷對世界棒球經典賽（WBC）的關注持續成長 This year’s WBC drew 1,619,839 fans for 47 games, a 24% increase over the previ ous high of 1,306,414 in 2023. The initial tournament in 2006 drew 740,451 for 3 9 games. 今年WBC在47場比賽中共吸引1,619,839名觀眾進場，較2023年創下的1,306,414人紀錄成長2 4%；而2006年首屆賽事39場比賽僅吸引740,451人。 The most-watched 2006 matchup was Mexico’s second-round win over the U.S. at 2. 46 million on ESPN 2006年收視最高的一場比賽，是墨西哥在第二輪擊敗美國，於ESPN吸引246萬觀眾。 This year’s most-viewed game through Sunday was the Americans’ semifinal victo ry over the Dominican Republic at 7.37 million on FS1 and Fox Deportes. That top ped the previous high of 5.2 million for the 2023 final on FS1, Fox Deportes and Fox Sports streaming services. Numbers for Tuesday’s final aren’t yet availab le. 截至週日為止，今年收視最高的比賽，是美國在準決賽擊敗多明尼加，於FS1與Fox Deporte s吸引737萬觀眾，超越2023年決賽在FS1、Fox Deportes與Fox Sports串流平台創下的520萬 紀錄，至於週二決賽的收視數據尚未公布 “There’s no resemblance to where we started in 2006,” Manfred said. “This on e, I feel like it went to a different level. We set an attendance record after t he early play. By the time we got into the semis and the final it was all gravy. 「現在的規模與2006年起步時已經完全不可同日而語」Manfred表示 「我覺得這一屆已經提升到不同層次，我們在賽事前段就創下進場紀錄，到了準決賽與決賽 階段，一切都順風順水」 Could the Olympics be next? 下一步會是奧運嗎？ MLB and the players’ association are negotiating over having big leaguers parti cipate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The six-nation baseball tournament, whi ch includes the U.S. Dominican Republic and Venezuela, would be played during an extended All-Star break. That event could impact the decision on when the seven th WBC will be played. MLB與球員工會目前正在協商，讓大聯盟球員參加2028年洛杉磯奧運，這項包含美國、多明 尼加與委內瑞拉在內的六隊棒球賽事，預計會安排在延長的明星賽週期間進行，這項安排可 能會影響第七屆WBC的舉辦時間 MLB and the players’ association have matching equity shares that are the most in the WBC, with Nippon Professional Baseball, the Korea Baseball Organization a nd the World Baseball Softball Confederation owning minority stakes. MLB與球員工會在WBC中持有最多且相同的股權，而日本職棒、韓國職棒以及世界棒壘球總會 （WBSC）則持有較小比例的股份 “The issue for us is whether we do it in ‘29 or in ‘30, three years or four y ears? I’m getting a lot of email from people today saying don’t make us wait f our more years for this,” Manfred said. “I do think a three- or four-year cycl e is probably about right for the event. The timing is going to turn on what we do with respect to related sorts of international efforts. I remain optimistic a bout the Olympics and obviously if we play in the Olympics it’s a short time fr om July of ‘28 ‘till the spring of 29 and that’s something we’ll have to tak e into account. I’m not saying it’s outcome determinative, but it’s something we’ll have to think about.” 「我們現在的問題是要在2029還是2030舉辦，是三年還是四年一屆？我今天已經收到很多信 件，大家都說不要再讓他們等四年」Manfred表示 「我認為三年或四年的週期都算合理，至於時間安排，將取決於我們在其他國際賽事上的規 劃，我對奧運仍然抱持樂觀態度」 「而如果我們參加2028年奧運，那從2028年7月到2029年春天的間隔會很短，這點我們必須 納入考量，這不一定是決定性因素，但確實是需要思考的問題。」 https://x.com/foulterritorytv/status/2034317658531975359 "Every player wants to do it. Everybody wants to be out there competing for thei r country." Max Scherzer has an idea for timing of the WBC in order to help with the risk fa ctor associated with the tournament: ‧ Push the WBC back two weeks ‧ Drop a week from the regular season 薛蛇的想法是WBC延後兩週打 然後那個改成兩階段的只是一個TA寫手自己的意見而已吧 https://i.imgur.com/vAZIDMq.jpeg 這次WBC的營收比上一屆翻倍的樣子 https://reurl.cc/np5o3n MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred marveled at the rapid growth of the World Baseball Classic in recent tournaments prior to Venezuela’s victory Wednesday over the U .S. in the 2026 championship game. 在委內瑞拉於2026年冠軍戰擊敗美國之前，Rob Manfred 對近幾屆世界棒球經典賽（WBC） 的快速成長感到驚嘆 “The early years of the WBC were tough. It was hard. And hard to attract attent ion. Hard to get clubs to buy in. But I think that the last two (WBC events), in particular, the popularity of the event has gotten the players more engaged, an d once the players are more engaged, you can really grow,” Manfred said on MLB Network. 「WBC早期的發展其實很艱難，非常困難，不但難以吸引關注，也很難讓球團支持，但我認 為特別是最近兩屆賽事，隨著賽事人氣上升，球員的投入程度也提高，而當球員更投入時， 這項賽事就能真正成長」Manfred在MLB Network上表示 “I didn’t think it was going to get this big this fast, but it is a real jewel , a real gem, that’s going to be a big part of the growth of the game going for ward.” 「我沒想到它會在這麼短時間內成長到這麼大規模，但它確實是一顆真正的明珠，未來將會 是推動棒球發展的重要一環」 Netflix secured the Japanese rights to the WBC for over $100M, and revenues have doubled from the previous tournament – with Venezuelan players receiving over $100,000 each in prize money for winning it all. Netflix 以超過1億美元取得WBC在日本的轉播權，WBC 整體收入也比上一屆翻倍——而奪冠 的委內瑞拉球員每人可分得超過10萬美元的獎金。 註： 2023總獎金14M 2026總獎金37M Manfred wants to replicate the successes MLB has had in Japan and South Korea wi th Latin America. Manfred希望將MLB在日本與南韓的成功經驗複製到拉丁美洲 “Latin American countries, particularly the ones where we get a lot of players, are really leaning in. There’s a lot of talk in the Dominican about really bui lding a bigger facility, so that we could play regular-season games in the Domin ican. That would be a great development for our Dominican players, a great devel opment for the sport,” Manfred said. 「拉丁美洲國家，特別是那些我們有大量球員來源的國家，現在都非常積極參與，多明尼加 目前也在討論興建更大型的球場，讓我們未來能在當地舉辦例行賽，這對多明尼加球員、對 整個運動發展都是好事，」Manfred表示 “We need to lean in and grow those markets, just like we’ve leaned in in Japan and Korea, in terms of making the game as big as it can possibly be.” 「我們需要加強投入、拓展這些市場，就像我們在日本與韓國所做的一樣，讓棒球的規模盡 可能擴大」 Italy, the tournament darling, could also be a place for baseball growth. 本屆賽事的黑馬——義大利，也可能成為棒球發展的新據點 “Growing the game in places where we don’t have a lot of play right now,” Man fred said. “That’s the most important thing about this event, at the end of th e day.” 「在目前棒球發展較少的地區推廣這項運動，」Manfred表示 「這才是這項賽事最重要的意義」 https://i.imgur.com/VUPy3oX.jpeg WBC年底前也要開始下一屆主辦地競標程序了 https://reurl.cc/lpRbkd About six MLB clubs have already expressed interest in hosting in the future, sa id Jeremiah Yolkut,MLB’s senior vice president for global operations and events . Some of them traveled to Miami to check out the setup in person during this to urnament. 已經有六支MLB球隊表達想辦下屆WBC 也有派人到邁阿密觀摩本屆賽事了 Once the tournament wraps up Tuesday night, the process of choosing the next tou rnament’s ballparks will begin quickly. MLB first refines its requests for prop osals, the specifications it wants host ballparks to meet: everything from hotel rooms in town to space for media at the park. Then by the end of the year, the RFPs will likely be sent out. MLB會先完善其「提案徵求書」（RFP）的內容，也就是對主辦球場的各項要求規格：從城市 中的飯店房間數量，到球場內提供給媒體的空間等都包含在內，接著這些RFP很可能會在年 底前正式發出 目前已有報導的想要爭辦的除了邁阿密 還有賭城（綠帽新球場） — 運動畫刊最新封面 https://i.imgur.com/cv6BL0O.jpeg -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.162.32.79 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/BaseballXXXX/M.1773885607.A.FD5.html ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ※ 轉錄者: carlchang092 (42.73.62.177 臺灣), 03/19/2026 10:00:47
