Dodgers - Padres to start 2024 season in South Korea

A pair of NL West teams will begin next season on the road.

According to ESPN, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are expected to open the 2024 season with a pair of games in South Korea. It will be the first time in history that a MLB game will be played in South Korea, and will mark the eighth time since 1999 that Major League Baseball has played its first regular season games outside the United States or Canada.

The teams are likely to play early enough to return to the United States and get settled before the rest of the 28 teams start their seasons.
