CHEN: Winter meetings winners, losers

Last season's All-Star Game was held at Target Field in Minnesota, while the 2015 game will be held at the Cincinnati Reds' Great American Ball Park.

A selection committee decides the venue for the All-Star Game each season, and typically alternates between an American League team and a National League team. Whichever league wins the game each season receives home field advantage in that year's World Series. 

The Orioles last hosted the All-Star Game in 1993.
