Are you serious? Nashville is growing really fast and they have an outstanding hockey fanbase. And there is so little competition in that part of "SEC country."

Manfred wants in on that Vegas $$$, everything else is a front for that

You're correct. A's have a small but very passionate fan base.

It is incredible when you analyze their long history, how despite having incredible teams in the 1930s and 1970s, the A's have never drawn well in Philly or Oakland. Their lackluster attendance in Kansas City made sense since the team was a glorified Yankee farm team.

Carolinas are ripe for a team.

Montreal and Portland are the two favorites. They have ownership groups in place and have stadium deals that are being worked on.

Tampa Bay has a new stadium coming in Tampa. Oakland is the problem child like it always has been. Rumor is if a new stadium can't get in the bay area - A's ownership likes Nashville.

Only if it somehow results in Royals to NL.

Agree, and he talked about this already.

Hoover 07-22-2018 08:33 PM
Vegas is the obvious one. Have to wonder if the North Carolina or Tennessee could work. Not sure about.

The AL needs to take Milwaukee back.

And eliminate interleague play.

Baseball already messed up with interleague play and the DH. Let's not compound errors.

Austin should get consideration from the standpoint it's a totally empty market.

Since it has been so long, how does an expansion team build a minor league system?
