WOWT Sports Director Ross Jernstrom interviewed MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred in June of 2018, when he announced the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers game being in Omaha.
Manfred was asked about the MLB Draft coming to the home of the College World Series.
Manfred said: "We like the idea of having the draft in a location where more players could be available, where the calendars between the NCAA and major league baseball would be more coordinated. I'm sure we'd have more conversations about that possibility. There's a lot of logistics surrounding it that need to be worked out."
The official announcement is expected to be made at the MLB winter meetings in San Diego. The event is expected to take place at the Holland Center in Omaha.
