The Dodgers’ trip to China next week will be delayed by a day.
Originally scheduled to make the long flight to Beijing on Monday,
the team will depart from Orlando the following day because the original charter
company contracted by Major League Baseball didn’t receive approval to land in
China before its deadline. Now, the Dodgers will bus to Orlando on Monday and
spend the night before departing on another charter. Team spokesman Josh Rawitch
said the team will arrive about 20 hours later than originally scheduled. “The
only thing it really does is eliminate the off-day there,” manager Joe Torre
said. “It just makes sightseeing a little tighter. We’ll work out here (Monday)
before heading to Orlando.” Rawitch said a visit to
the Great Wall of China still is planned. “I did the Wall in January,” Torre
said, referring to his trip to Beijing for a news conference to discuss the
series.
