Unclear what his present involvement is with efforts to bring baseball back. |
After the craziness of what has happened during this Post Season/World Series in terms of fan support and viewership numbers, I am 100% confident now that the MLB is going to be looking into Montreal more seriously. The prospect of having another team with giant corporate and media conglomerate backing like the Blue Jays, with potential for nationwide support (especially if an Expos revival were to be in the NL) and 2 potential opportunities per season to have this sort of frenzy instead of 1, is just too good of a prospect to pass up. You simply would not be able to get a team with marketability like this in Nashville, Portland, Charlotte, Raleigh, Orlando, or SLC.
The same all applies to Vancouver too IMO.
