I watched their game today they have very little MLB talent. It’s embarrassing how bad they are. They are in baseball purgatory.

They need to improve by A LOT before they get to Vegas. You don’t want to take the worst team in the league to Vegas.
What's sad is they've been one of the best teams since the turn of the century. No, they never won a World Series but they have had a lot of really good teams and a lot of terrific players went through there.

Utah Ballpark renderings just released a few days ago. Utah is very serious about acquiring a MLB and NHL franchise.

I think in terms of getting an expansion team Utah, Charlotte , Montreal and Nashville are probably the leaders in the clubhouse. Going to be interesting to see what two cities end up with a team
That looks sick.

I remember the Expos in their dying last few years before they went to PR and eventually DC. They wouldn't even give you player stats. It would just be the attendance on Sportscenter or Baseball Tonight.
Jeff Loria even blocked games from being broadcasted in French and from call ups getting to play when the rosters expanded.






Then bud selig gave him an interest free loan to buy the marlins :pacspit:

I get moving the team to Las Vegas. But, I really think they would have a better chance at securing a following in SLC or Albuquerque. Cause those locations are underserved for pro sports. Aren't exactly a destination location like Vegas. Where if the team stays trash the fans will stop coming post novelty or non-interesting visiting team.
