Does Manfred have a favored team that he'd like to move to another league at any cost? Bud Selig wouldn't waste this kind of opportunity.

Not sure if Charlotte could support it. The Carolinas are pretty much solid Braves country.

Mexico City is a bad idea all around, from the elevation to having zero chance at keeping or signing good American talent

Yeah but shouldn't they be clearing up the politics in these places? Making sure the teams don't offend anyone?

If Charlotte had an MLB team how much would that change support for their existing Triple-A team then? I'm curious how many MLB teams also have Triple-A teams in the same city, if any.

Mexico City may actually be safer than Cancun right now. The Zetas in cancun have been going off.

I have never been to MC, I really want to, but I have heard it is pretty cool. You just got to keep your head on you.

It is a big time "go here; never there" kind of city

Gwinnett is the AAA affiliate of the Braves and is a suburb of Atlanta. Think that's the only one.

Seems like it would be a waste to move a team out of a 3 year old ballpark not suitable for MLB-type capacity, then build a new one.

What a fricking dumpster. Though it closely resembles something I built in SimCity long ago.

I'm curious what division they'd put them in because it'd make one uneven again like the old NL Central/Al west.

Go back to 2 divisions so I don't have to see the same 4 teams for half the regular season.

i didn't understand zoning as a 8 year old that grew up in Houston so my cities would be shithole to live in.

I'd go with Mexico City and Montreal. Strengthen baseball in Canada and tap into all of the Mexican market.
