MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

MLB expansion talks could happen 'pretty shortly' after Rays, A's stadium disputes settled, says Rob Manfred​

Which Cities Are Most Likely To Get MLB Expansion Teams?​

City Odds Implied Probability
Nashville +175 36.4%
Salt Lake City +350 22.2%
Charlotte +500 16.7%
Portland +650 13.3%
Montreal +1000 9.1%
San Antonio +1500 6.3%
The Field +525 16.0%
MLB has no timeline on when expansion will occur. The first priority is to find better homes for the Oakland Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays before jumping into the expansion arena. The A's have announced their intentions to move to Las Vegas for Opening Day 2027.

Tampa Bay still must also resolve its issue. Some of the cities without a team now could get the Rays, if relocation is the best option.

Based on the number of billionaires initially interested in purchasing the Washington Nationals, who are currently for sale (or recently were, depending on who to believe), there is sure to be massive interest in two shiny new teams, when the time comes.

I don’t watch much baseball. But there are only 2 days where none of the 4 major sports play games. Yesterday and tomorrow. So fitting this game ends on a Cleveland player K. Maybe this will lead to an Indians Guardians solid 2nd half.
Today is the worst day in the entire sports year. Partly because of no live games and partly because the ESPYs are garbage.

Nashville and Charlotte are Braves Country.


New Orleans should be considered. Look at the support LSU gets in baseball. They'd pack their stadium
