Portland is the 25th largest metro area in the US and has only one professional sports team. Not saying it is impossible for Blazers to leave, but would not make financial sense for the owner as there are no other larger metro areas that do not already have a pro sports team. And at least Blazer fans attend games, unlike A's fans.

They tried to get the expos back in the early 00s but never really got much city buy in, iirc.

Interesting odds posted on a landing spot for the A’s.
Charlotte is very intriguing. Booming growth, massive baseball fans, currently in the middle of Braves country.

montreal was one city i heard mentioned, as was vancouver but i can't really see that happening. las vegas seems to make the most sense but is also the last place i want to see the As go. if anything, i think they stay american west coast but if they do branch out geographically, charlotte would be an excellent landing spot.

very intriguing, indeed. when don beaver built the new knights stadium in the early 2010s, there was talk that the stadium design would take into account the possibility of expansion to a big league ballpark. i don't know if that is the case (i ain't no enjuneer) but i would love to see it.

the braves loyalty is something of a misnomer. allegiances are much more local and typically align with either the nearest milb teams big league affiliate or the team that a local product plays for. for example, bumgarner is from my town and during the giants' four or so year streak, there were giants flags flying from trucks and porches in every county within 50 miles. the giants loyalty still reigns true in my town for sure even though he is with arizona now. the white sox get plenty of love from the charlotte metro area, the rockies get some love from asheville, and the rangers from the foothills and down east regions.

Braves have a ton of fans in the south because for years and years ( the 80s when I lived there) the only places to see baseball consistently on TV in the south was WTBS or WGN
Espn maybe showed 1 game a week, big three networks the same.
Remember almost every Braves game being on & a lot of Cubs games.
Braves were Southern & then started to get good in the 90s. Easy access and bandwagon leads to a large fan base. Plus, what else was/is there in the area baseball wise?

They say you can't win the World Series in May, but you sure can lose it.
Taking a glance at the standings around baseball today I noticed that the Royals are currently riding an 11 game losing streak.
They were in first place of the division when it started. Ooof.I still call it The Jake.

I must say after watching 6 of their games, the Blue Jays have some talent and power.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

When the fuck is Frankie Lindor gonna start producing? I was told on very good TGR authority that he was a special player, but so far he's been a "special" player.

It's really past time for any of the fair weather Astros fans to hop on board the Jays train. Lots of familiar names without the stain and they're fun to watch.

Since I moved to tri state the Blue Jays have been my AL team. Get to see them play a lot in the bronx & up @ Fenway and even Toronto when there for work ( damn last Toronto trip was a Jays game and a Phish show, I miss work travel) plus goes along with my anti SOx & Yanks stance
Plus now they got my boy Ryu
YOUR MY BOY RYU!
and the Chicken Strip Ross Stripling, plus their fun young hitters a lot to love

If anyone is up watching this CLE-SEA game you’ll see the future of camera-work. I have no clue why they haven’t used this hovering / eye-in-the-sky shit like the NFL; it works

How is it that the angels have (arguably) the two best players in the league right now, but are dead last? Something is totally rotten in that organization, right?
