Based on current talent baseball needs to retract about 4 or so teams. MLB killing off MILB is really hurting the sport as far as developing players.

I could see 2 teams in Mexico coming before any other US cities.

Plantman, if you are in charge, which four cities are losing their franchise and why?

And not saying I agree or disagree with the MLB killing off MiLB, but wondering why you say that? Either way, I'd think that the NCAA's NIL hurts MiLB.


Manfred is on track to be out of the commissioner's office by 2029 and it's my understanding that he's been vocal about adding two expansion teams.

I could also see the Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas A's continuing to be unsettled. I could also see the situation with Tampa Bay's stadium making an already bad situation worse and the franchise ending up elsewhere. Miami and Anaheim are two more that wouldn't shock me.

I think a team in Nashville might be a given during the next round of expansion; as of late last season, it seemed like a foregone conclusion. Mexico City has had much more momentum in the past than now. Think the MLB canceled some scheduled games there and in Puerto Rico & Paris.
