Let's see, Miami and the Marlins are hating each other, St.Paul's Judge just gave the Twins an out, and now this. IT would appear that the tide has shifted from MLB owners dictating what they want to the cities being able to.

I have never been a fan of owners holding cities ransom and hopefully, this trend stays. Of course this could start talks of retraction again. Cutting 2 teams out to save the owners from losing their prime bargaining chip which, again it appears they have.

Norfolk and Portland are not Major League cities. And I believe if you locate a team to Las Vegas, considering baseball's supposed strict anti-gambling rules, it would be hypocrasy to keep Pete Rose out of baseball anymore.

There aren't many cities unless they go to Puerto Rico or Mexico and then you're opening up a whole can of worms I'm not sure you want to.
