In addition, the commissioner's office and the union planned to complete the sites for the tournament on Tuesday, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the of the pending announcement.
Chase Field in Phoenix (formerly Bank One Ballpark) and Scottsdale Stadium will join the Tokyo Dome, Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the Atlanta Braves' spring training ballpark in Kissimmee, Florida., as first-round sites.
Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, will be used with Bithorn Stadium as a second-round site for the tournament, to be played from March 3-20. The semifinals and the final will be at San Diego's Petco Park, baseball and the union said in September.
