The boss of Major League Baseball has said his meeting with Sadiq Khan to discuss the prospect of matches being played in London was “very good”.
The sport’s commissioner, Rob Manfred, said he had discussed a variety of options after the Mayor revealed talks were under way with MLB to play matches at London Stadium.
An MLB spokesman said: “Commissioner Manfred and the Mayor of London had a very good meeting on a variety of topics. Nothing specific has been determined regarding when a game might occur in London and what teams would participate.”
The MLB abandoned plans to stage a match in London in July next year after “time ran out” on negotiations for this season.
