As we know, the A’s of Las Vegas will soon see the light of day. We are one vote away from the owners to formalize the decision.
If the Rays manage to stabilize their situation in Tampa Bay, it will therefore ensure that commissioner Rob Manfred can proceed with an expansion.
But which cities will have a vote of confidence for the best expansion city?
Players were questioned on the subject and unsurprisingly, it was Nashville that got the highest vote of confidence from players. The latter voted anonymously at The Athletic.
69% of players surveyed support Nashville, which has a group working hard on the file. In my eyes, it’s only a matter of time before we see MLB’s 31st club in Tennessee.
And followingwards, Montreal got the most votes. We are talking regarding 10% of the votes, or one out of 10, which is not trivial.
Charlotte and Austin are next at 5%. Next, Portland (4%) is the most popular city.
And then there is Vancouver. At 2% of the vote, that still gives 12% support to a city in the country. This is not nothing when you know that it is the players who vote.
Coming back to Montreal, I don’t think that’s realistic at the moment. The draft is on the sidelines and there doesn’t seem to be any traction on it.
But it’s good to see the support from the players.
