MLB moving All-Star Game, draft out of Georgia following outcry over voting law

Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Robert Manfred said the league was relocating its 2021 All-Star Game and MLB Draft from Atlanta, following an outcry over Georgia's new voting restrictions.

"Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box," Manfred said in a written statement. "Fair access to voting continues to have our game's unwavering support."
