We all know what this announcement today means. Cut the crap about two cities. The Rays will be renamed the "Expos" and be playing in Montreal full-time at a nice new stadium in 5 years.

The Athletics will either get funding for a new stadium in Oakland, or they'll "transition" to Portland or Vegas.

Then we'll get two new expansion teams, probably 2/3 of Nashville/Charlotte/ and either Portland/Vegas (if As don't move there)

Then there will be 32 teams, 8 divisions of 4. Montreal restored. The American South further tapped into. And 4 or 5 sparkling new ballparks.

This stuff has happened for 100 years. Hell, the Yankees were originally in Baltimore.

Baseball is a business.

Exciting times, IMO.
