MLB baseball expansion - Yea or nay
What do you think? Rumored that Manfred is considering adding a few teams to the MLB.

I usually hate expansion because it means you make every roster worse. And I see it as a money grab. But I kind of like the idea of using it to realign divisions.

Gotta give baseball credit for one thing... relocation is rare, which is great.

To do this they would need to realign. They would have to use 4 team divisions and add a North South and remove the Central Division. That would require a lot.

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

I have no problem with interleague games. I think it should be that way. The league needs to unify on the use of eliminating the DH. MLB is the only pro sport that lets half of its league play one way while the other half plays another. Either remove the DH or all teams use it. Personally I would like to see the DH removed.

no. When there are teams regularly losing over 95 games. We do not need more teams.

In fact, I do not see the need for anymore major pro teams.

Could they fix that by requiring a spending floor similar to the NFL? As well as a hard cap instead of the luxury tax BS?

The main issue is diluting rosters. There are only so many good players to go around. One of the major reasons for the boom in home runs during the steroid era was the dilution of pitching staffs. Teams that had 5 solid starters ended up with a few really, really bad starters at the end of the rotation. It's great for boosting home run counts. But it leads to a lot of really, really bad baseball.

According to Manfred. I think I read that it will definitely be one team for the west and 1 team for the east. Many of these cities are actually really strong expansion markets.

“We have a real list of cities that I think are not only interested in having baseball, but are viable in terms of baseball … Portland, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Nashville in the United States, certainly Montreal, maybe Vancouver, in Canada,” Manfred said. “We think there’s places in Mexico we could go for the long haul.”

Charlotte would be a great city but the current Braves fan base might be hard to overcome. Portland doesn't have much competition. Las Vegas is booming. Not sure on Nashville. Forget Canada especially Montreal. It wasn't a great baseball city. Mexico would be a terrible idea.

They should contract TB and Oakland


Zero fan support. Zero reason to exist


Then move a team to Montreal if they pass a new stadium. Perhaps Cleveland. Or White Sux
