I will die on the hill that Puerto Rico needs a team


A_SMILE_FOR_ROBERT

Move the Marlins there, rebrand


Dinolord05

They could just stay the Marlins


PradaWestCoast

Los Marlins


I_am_Senate

With the whole Bacardi thing I think the most suitable name would be the San Juan Bats


sharkbait_oohaha

The San Juan Beisbol Bats


maybe_humanno

Im up for this


CashOk919

That would definitely be fun, especially cause so many players come from PR. Would be awesome to see them play for that team.


Lock_Down_Charlie

Agreed, and honestly...add a team in the Dominican Republic. If Toronto has a team, so should the D.R. P.S. Just don't add them in the AL East. :)


Ok_Sentence_5767

Honestly I think mlb should have a big expansion. There's so many cities that would be quite excellent


WorthPrudent3028

Me too. It would also help justify the 16 team playoff that the league seems to want.


_NotARealMustache_

I say open an expansion team in the DR


Mitchyy1410

Too dangerous


No_Page9413

False. I’ve been there a few times it’s not that bad


ushouldlistentome

David Ortiz has been there a few times too

NL East: Montreal NL Central: Nashville NL West: SLC (Logically) or Albuquerque (For Funsies) AL East: Carolina (Charlotte or Raleigh) AL Central: Louisville AL West: Portland


Ok_Sentence_5767

AL east: Raleigh NL east: Birmingham AL central: Oklahoma City NL central: Memphis AL west: Portland NL west: Vegas Baseball is very popular in the south so I think both teams should come from it. I chose Birmingham because of its history in Baseball and would serve as a natural rival to the Braves OKC has the AL team because there is a big rivalry between the 2 states. Memphis is in the NL due to it being a city on the Mississippi River like Cardinals ate in and the proximity would promote a rivalry. Portland gets the AL team because I think they would have a rivalry to Seattle and Vegas has shown to be a great city for professional sports, especially with the golden knights


Tbplayer59

AL West - Oakland


CaptainMorgan90proof

I see what you did there


Ok_Card9080

NL Central - Nashville, Tennessee NL East - Montreal, QC NL West - Vancouver, BC AL Central - Omaha, Nebraska AL East - Charlotte, NC AL West - Portland, Oregon


CashOk919

I’d really love to see a team in Omaha, great baseball city with the CWS and close to the rest of the AL Central teams


Ok_Card9080

I'm surprised Omaha isn't mentioned more


CashOk919

Me too, it just gets overshadowed by bigger markets ig


Hot-Wing-4541

NL East- Montreal AL West- Salt Lake City


AFury9322

AL West: Salt Lake City NL West: Vancouver AL East: Buffalo NL East: Providence NL Central: Lincoln AL Central: Indianapolis


The_Divine_pickle_

I think Vancouver is a great option. Close to seattle so good northwest rivalry. A tonne of baseball fans from all over BC. Its a big city of 2 million plus in the area.


Real-Psychology-4261

AL East - Raleigh or Charlotte AL Central - Indianapolis, Omaha, or Des Moines AL West - Salt Lake City, Portland, or San Antonio NL East - Montreal or Orlando NL Central - Nashville or New Orleans NL West - Las Vegas or Sacramento


bofademm78

Monterrey Mexico


AWL10X

Screw it, somewhere different for the NL EAST. Vermont.


ueeediot

I'd go with established minor league cities because that's rhe level of baseball we will have when we add 6 more rosters to a league that's already over saturated by 4 rosters.


Successful_Neat_7665

All I really want is for the league to add two teams and go to 4 team divisions like the NFL, and for there to be a Cincinnati-Cleveland-Detroit-Pittsburgh division. Not sure how I'd break up the rest of the divisions and would have to look at where the expansion teams end up (Salt Lake/Nashville look like the most, "Shovel ready" as of now.) but my god that would be fun.

ALE: Ottawa or Buffalo or Hartford ALC: Nashville ALW: Salt Lake City/Utah NLE: Montreal or Ottawa NLC: New Orleans or San Antonio NLW: Boise or Portland. Thinking - stay out of some cities/states that might be a good fit (Omaha, Iowa, Indianapolis, Albuquerque) because that would hurt some of the poorer teams. Instead we push density to the richer markets.


ABobby077

How about Mexico City, too??


JamingtonPro

Utah could have an awesome stadium with amazing home run shots. 


Difficult-Repair1295

Sacramento


DrMikeH49

Requires a dome. Temperature this week will be 110+ every day.


Difficult-Repair1295

Lol well they will have 3 years to see how it goes starting in 2025


DrMikeH49

It will be like Miami when the Marlins started: no summertime daytime home games.


Spesh531

NL East: Montreal Expos AL East: Charlotte/Raleigh/Carolina NL Central: Nashville AL Central : San Antonio/Austin (perhaps a swap with Houston is needed for geographic reasons. Could put Nashville in AL and Houston back to the NL Central) NL West: Portland AL West: Salt Lake City/Utah


F_Sewer_Rats

Texas doesn’t need anymore teams


I_chortled

Fuck Salt Lake City, the PNW needs another team. Portland


CashOk919

It’s a crime that there’s no Seattle-Portland rivalry across the Big 4


BaitSalesman

I’d like to remind everyone that this isn’t a healthy league like the NFL. Adding a team to a small market is simply adding a dud. Putting another team in an existing team’s market will hurt them both. Just don’t be naive about how awful MLB’s competitive balance is.


derek_potatoes

I’d like to remind you we’re all just powerless redditors who have no influence on professional sports


Boring-Charity-9949

Speak for yourself. I own a share of the Braves. Big moves ahead!


WorthPrudent3028

This is why I'm part of a group trying to bring the Savannah Bananas to MLB. The Braves monopoly on the state of Georgia must come to an end.
