Im wanting to start taking baseball pics and I currently only have the 24-70 II for my 1Dx. Is there any reason to believe that a refresh to the canon 70-200 f2.8 II will occur in the next year. I have a friend willing to let me borrow theirs but if no refresh is expected anytime soon I can go ahead and buy one for myself.
Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS III

Well the Mark II was released in 2011, so you might have to wait until 2018-2022 for a new version.

It's pretty much guaranteed to not be updated within the next year. A lens as significant as that isn't likely to sidestep the rumour mill such as a new 18-55 can, and from rumours to physical product on the shelves can take quite a few years - just look at the 100-400 mk II situation.
It was only released in 2010, and before the advent of the Canon 200-400 it was described as the best zoom lens in the world. No third party or rival OEM manufacturer has a genuine answer to this lens. There's clearly not too much to improve.
Go for it. It's a simply great addition to your 24-70 mk II

Not sure what there's left to improve besides weight to be honest.
The biggest improvement over the MKI was the much improved MFD and updated IS imo, but either version shoots wide open all day long leaving folks more than happy with the results.
