I think if the NHL can make a franchise even semi-viable, then the other 3 major leagues will have a team in Vegas within 10 years


Vegas' TV market isn't that large (40th in the nation), that would be the lowest in MLB. And so much of baseball is the regional TV deals. There are also near by cities that would help in that area.
Other franchises can still sell their rights in neighboring markets like New Haven (#30) Columbus (#31) Austin (#39), there are no cities within 200 miles of Vegas. Baseball would have more appealing options in Montreal, Portland, and San Antonio.

I could see Vegas getting another franchise, but I don't think it would be baseball.
