Google "Austin San Antonio MLB Team" or some variation of that and you'll find a few interesting articles from the last couple of years on the topic.

The articles present the idea of the two cities serving as a combined Central Texas market, addressing how the I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio is growing, with the thought of that growth sort of connecting the two cities into one bigger metro area. The combined population of the two cities' metro areas is over 5 million. Austin alone is the 11th biggest market in the nation and close to overtaking San Jose for 10th. Plus, it has the corporate money from the tech companies.

One idea is to put a stadium in San Marcos as a way of trying to make the team somewhat centrally located between the two cities. But then the question is who would pay for it. May not happen, but it's fun to talk/speculate about.

Also, I agree with those who say yes to relocation and no to expansion. Don't dilute the talent pool even further.
