MLB expansion back on table with 6 cities competing for 2 spots

While there was a lot of debate over the impact of baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season, the proof is in the numbers. As in, attendance numbers. They have significantly increased compared to years past. Is MLB expansion on the horizon, too?

Whenever MLB commissioner Rob Manfred was asked about that in the past, he gave a version of the same answer. Once stadium issues are resolved for the Athletics and Rays, then they’ll talk about it.

Well, both of those things are on the verge of happening. The Athletics are set to move to Las Vegas.
