The Athletic - Why MLB players think Nashville is the best city for an expansion team

3 years ago by maddison to c/mlb

The Athletic polled more than 100 MLB players and asked them which city is best for a new franchise. Nashville was the overwhelming choice.

I can't read the article because of a paywall but does anyone honestly think the MLB cares at all what the players think about this? Lol it's all about owners, funding for a stadium, fan base, and above all, potential for money. If the reports showed a team in Iraq would make trillions of dollars guaranteed, the Baghdad Bengals would be in the league next year.

The middle-South could use another team, and I hope they can support one.

Nashville is absolutely booming, for better or worse, and it would be nice for the Predators to get a few neighbors.
