re: Montreal, Mexico City, and Charlotte are potential cities for MLB expansion

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

Mexico City is 2,000 feet higher than Denver.

Would have to add two teams realistically

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.

They would without a doubt move the AAA team

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.

Dodgers have a AA team out in Rancho Cucamonga

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.

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

Its fun for a few days max. No one wants to live there. Cancun isnt worse then mex city

I'd go with Mexico City and Montreal. Strengthen baseball in Canada and tap into all of the Mexican market.
Posted on 7/14/17 at 2:02 pm to WestCoastAg
Who would want to live in Mexico City?
