MLB Hall of Famer Barry Larkin Joins Push to Bring Franchise to Orlando

Cincinnati Reds legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin joined the Orlando Dreamers in an attempt to help bring an MLB franchise to the city.

Larkin expressed his belief that Orlando should receive a team in an announcement on Wednesday (h/t Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors).

"It became immediately apparent that Orlando has the most compelling market in the country to be the next MLB franchise location," Larkin said, per the announcement.

The former 12-time All-Star is expected to serve as the MLB Ambassador for the Dreamers.
