Major League Baseball has given up plans to play regular-season games in London in 2017, according to the players' association.

Rob Manfred said in January that his staff was working hard at playing in London and officials looked at the renovated Olympic Stadium as a possible venue.

"There was discussion about London early on," union head Tony Clark said. "Unfortunately there were a number of moving pieces related to London that shortened our window in an effort to try to find common ground on that happening, and we weren't able to get it done in time."
