What are the odds that this happens and where would they go? I’ve read the A’s and Ray’s want new parks. I’ve also read the A’s are looking at Vegas. Again, what are the chances of new teams being added — as opposed to relocation — and where would they likely go?

I despise expansion and rhe watering down of competition. More shite teams makes the league worse

A's are almost a Vegas lock

The usual suspects of Nashville, Charlotte, Orlando- rank them as you wish

MLB has whispered about Montreal and Mexico City

You will hear Portland O, Salt Lake city supporters

San Antonio possible

The A’s aren’t looking at Vegas. The A’s are moving to Vegas. It’s just a matter of when at this point.

Haters will never admit it, but the best city for any pro sport expansion is easily Birmingham

Exactly as I predicted

The two most obvious moves I can see are the A’s from Oakland to Vegas (almost a guarantee) and the Rays to Nashville or Charlotte.

Orlando is the dark horse.

Pat Williams, who brought the Magic there is heading up the effort.

Don’t see San Antonio being very likely

San Antonio is more likely than Austin (or in between the two) but don’t think it’s all that likely for at least a decade or so.

A's to Oakland is all but done.

Going to be Portland or Salt Lake City for one expansion team. Charlotte or Nashville for the other.

The Rays relocating to Orlando or the Nashville/Charlotte runner up is a possibility, but not a very good one.

This will happen by the 2027 season.

Way more money in Austin

Though I do think they’d put the stadium on the south end of the city so the drive from SA wouldn’t be any worse than Dallas to Arlington.
