This one won't happen any time soon, as Venezuela has been on the U.S. government's "do not travel" list off and on for the past decade. MLB would need some serious safety assurances before Commissioner Rob Manfred would even consider sending two teams to the 40,000-capacity stadium known as La Rinconada in Caracas.
But there eventually needs to a be an MLB game in South America, and Venezuela would make the most sense, as it has been quite the pipeline to the majors over the years.
Australia got to host a few MLB games a decade ago, and only 35 players have ever made it to the majors after being born in the Land Down Under. Twice as many players (70) born in Venezuela have appeared in at least one MLB game this season alone, including Jose Altuve, Ronald Acuña Jr., Salvador Perez, both Willson and William Contreras, Luis Arráez, Ranger Suárez and Andrés Giménez, among others.
