Out of that list the only one that really grabs me is Montreal.

Portland is one of the "shithole" cities, no way to there.

Can Oklahoma support a team? Maybe call them the Mickeys, in honor of their hometown legend.

Or maybe New Orleans/Kentucky/Tennessee area. Nothing currently there.

1. Havana Cuba
2. Louisville KY
3. Austin TX
4. Albuquerque NM

Havana Cuba would be the clear choice, those games would be sold out for decades, can't charge those folks a lot to get in as they don't have much money but there is not a more rabid baseball town. The international implications for the sport would be tremendous and would cement baseballs popularity in the South American/Caribbean nations.

Havana and Montreal.

They would result in the highest attendance.

That said, I do not want more expansion...talent pool gets further watered down...no thanks.

Charlotte and Portland. I would like to see them go back to 2 divisions with 8 teams each.

Portland is a really nice city. I have extended family that lives there so I am fortunate enough to visit often. That area of Oregon is extremely beautiful and the Oregon coast is one of the nicest stretches of land I've ever visited.

+1 on Portland. In addition to the natural beauty, great food/nightlife, arts/entertainment, and one of the best public transit systems in the country

Not saying the rest of Oregon isn't nice, but no way to Portland.

1 sports team out of 4 sports, so what's the reason it's not 3 or 4 out of 4 like most cities?

700 homeless encampments. Sounds lovely.

Maybe they could have Homeless Day - free attendance for all the squatters.

Firmly in the no category. 30 teams is more than enough. Baseball has a season and it should not further impinge into the football season. As it is now, it goes too late into the fall.

We don't need a Mr. November....
