MLB hasn’t tried to hide the fact that it wants to add two teams — and another
 group is pitching a city and a concept.

大聯盟這邊是希望能擴編兩隊的

A group led by former NBA executive Pat Williams is looking to start a team in O
rlando, a pitch including a $1.7 billion stadium funded in part by $975 million
from tourist taxes. The group, which calls the proposed team “The Dreamers,” a
lso wants to build 1,000 hotel rooms adjacent to the stadium.

Williams has already helped launch another major team, the Orlando Magic, who jo
ined the NBA in 1989.

而目前又有一個地區跳出來想爭取:奧蘭多

想要在奧蘭多爭取一隻MLB擴編球隊

並提案用17億美金蓋一座新球場

Pat Williams在1989年也協助了NBA奧蘭多魔術的成立


Orlando, a two-hour drive from the Tampa Bay Rays in Saint Petersburg and three-
and-a-half from the Miami Marlins, wi look to draw more fans — where both riv
al markets have failed.

The Rays and Miami Marlins were respectively 28th and 29th in average home game
attendance last year. The Marlins remain 29th this season, while a dominant star
t to the season has helped the Rays climb to 25th.

只不過要先克服佛州已經有兩支MLB隊伍的挑戰


Orlando isn’t alone in pitching a new MLB city. A group led by retired pitcher
Dave Stewart has been pushing a new team in Nashville. The minority-owned group,
 which plans to name the team the Stars after the city’s Negro Leagues team, cl
aims to have received positive signs from MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.

A group in Salt Lake City is also angling for a team. Charlotte, Portland, and M
ontreal are often mentioned as potential expansion sites.
