i think NYC & LA are the only two markets legitimately big enough to really warrant multiple major league teams. and outside of MLB, they are the only two markets with multiple NFL, NBA, NHL, & MLS teams. yeah, chicago and the bay area both have two baseball teams each, but that's legacy holdover stuff from the olden days. if MLB were being laid out from scratch today in 2021, they probably wouldn't put two teams in those markets.

The Oakland A's are not long for their city. Having failed to extort their welfare stadium they are parading their availability like a whore at a debutante ball. Any suitor willing to let them suckle at the public teat will be considered.

the A's have always been antsy as an organization.

originally from philly, then to KC, then to oakland, and where to next?

vegas? portland? charlotte?

maybe they'll hit all 3 over the coming century?



it does make me wonder about the white sox staying put in chicago for the long haul.

a 1st place team all season long, but only 14th in attendance........

meanwhile, the cubs traded their entire team away half way through and are currently 21 games under .500, but they sit at 8th for attendance. go figure.
