Passan has an ESPN+ article out on MLB expansion. He says Manfred would like to have expansion on his legacy by the time he leaves in 2029. Passan says insiders believe Nashville and Salt Lake City would be the likely choices pending outcomes of the Rays and A's.

Division realignment seems like it would be easy assuming you swap leagues for Tampa and Colorado. League doesn't really mean anything anymore since everybody's playing with the DH. I'd think the Rockies and Rays fans would welcome the opportunity to get out of a division with the Dodgers and Yankees respectively.

Nashville makes zero sense to me. That would eat into the Braves market share of the region. Salt Lake I can kind of get. Charlotte even would make more sense unless you go Montreal.
