(CNN) Coors Field in Denver -- home of Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies -- is expected to be announced as the new host of this year's All-Star Game, according to multiple news outlets. "We are excited about the possibility of hosting the All-Star Game and are awaiting MLB's decision," Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said. "Like so many Coloradans, I'm excited and hopeful that Major League Baseball makes the best decision and formally chooses to play the 2021 All-Star game in Denver," he said in a statement. There's also been a response within the MLB -- during their opening day on Saturday, the Atlanta Braves covered the All-Star patch on their jersey's. "Major League Baseball caved to fear, political opportunism, and liberal lies," Kemp said Friday.
