MLB announced that the Kansas City Royals and Boston Red Sox will meet in the 2027 Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa, per Manny Randhawa on MLB.com.
The annual game at the Dyersville site has become one of the more genuinely charming fixtures on the baseball calendar — a cornfield, a movie, and a major league game that somehow still feels like a novelty. The Royals and Red Sox will be the next clubs to walk out of the stalks.
What remains unconfirmed
Beyond the matchup and location, no further details about the event — broadcast arrangements, ticket availability, or any surrounding programming — appear in the announcement.
The Boston backdrop
The Red Sox arrive at this scheduling news in the middle of a busy stretch of roster activity. Reliever Garrett Whitlock was placed on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation, retroactive to August 10. Greg Weissert has returned to the club after a brief Triple-A Worcester stint, and right-hander Seth Martinez was outrighted to Worcester. Roman Anthony is nearing a minor league rehab assignment as his recovery continues.
