Now? No problem.
Gambling money is paying for that, one way or another.
Baseball pretty much isn't baseball anymore.
To avoid the obvious hypocrisy they should have and induction ceremony for both Jackson and Rose during the home opener.

It's impossible to block Vegas after so many states legalized sports gambling after the courts changed the hold Vegas and Atlantic City held.
We have sports gambling in Michigan now, should they have been forced to move all 4 professional teams for a decision at the state legislative level?
I expect the gap of not having the NBA in Vegas to be filled in the next few years as well. They do an amazing job of bringing in teams alienated by local governments and have a solid fanbase along with a cheap airfare for visiting fans to attend as well.
If I was any of these teams asking for improvements I would be looking at Vegas already.
