The BEST Cities For An Expansion Team
Спорт
Rob Manfred has said that he hopes for an MLB expansion of at least two teams before he retires in 2029. With that in mind, let's look at the 5 best cities for expansion. Nashville, Charlotte, Salt Lake City, Portland, Montreal, Mexico City, and others are all candidates with a few having a better chance.

PORTLAND NEEDS A TEAM
The thing about Vancouver is that they’d need to make a new stadium somewhere which is highly unlikely as there’s more profit in having housing than a baseball stadium. We wouldn’t be able to have an outside stadium because it rains to much during summer seasons which has kinda stopped in recent years but still. Itd be Montreal before Vancouver in my opinion.

Quebec City ? Edmonton ? Saskatchewan ? Winnipeg ? ⚾🇨🇦
6:30 - you said San Antonio has a smaller market than Salt Lake City? San Antonio has a much larger metro area, almost the size of St. Louis, while SLC’s metro area is slightly larger than Grand Rapids. San Antonio is also close enough to Austin that is would add substantially to their fan base.
San Jose and Montreal

Newark would be kinda cool but I don't think they need a Team Nashville and Carolina need a team
you should do a video on don mattinglys home run streak and on steinbrenner said it was bad for the yankees.
Brooklyn. That's right. NYC supported 3 teams during the 1950s and the city is even bigger and better now. Brooklyn would absolutely support a MLB team.

Really ? So would Yankees fans & Mets fans support this new MLB franchise ? Or would they be able to attract new fans to baseball from all across the state of NY ? 🤔
Expansion is a great idea. New York could really use a second baseball team.

They have 2 already. The Mets & The Yankees. Does NY State really need more than two MLB teams like the five they currently have in California ?

Nashville won’t be able to compete with the Braves - they own the entire Southeast.

The reds aren't far from nashville either
The Royals will be leaving Kansas City when the new stadium is not voted through in a month or so.
At this point some teams should move instead of adding more teams. Pittsburgh hasn't had a good team in over 30 years. The Brewers could leave, the Twins as well. Tampa Bay doesn't support the Rays. The As are the As. Personally I think if a team doesn't have a certain winning percent after about 30-40 years the franchise should be forced to sell.

None of those teams want to leave. And moving teams generates little revenue.

@fantasticvoyage262 well obviously the As do. There were talks about moving the Twins years ago. Yes, moving teams doesn't generate revenue but that's the problem with many owners. You can field a terrible team year after year and the value of the franchise will steadily go up. Look at the Marlins. I'd rather have the league force ownership changes than to just have terrible teams for generations. But that's just me, no one cares what I think lol.

@@quiveringmoist7558 The Athletics are the only team that wants to leave. But does anyone want them? The Las Vegas mayor doesn't even want them. And Fisher is too broke to pay for his stadium. Twins are in a fairly new stadium. They aren't going anywhere.
Expansion? Current teams cant fill stadiums
Pro sports needs less teams not more. Pro sports is so watered down, so many terrible teams.

There's always been bad teams no matter how many fewer teams existed.
