Major League Baseball (MLB) is one step closer to expanding its league, as another domino has fallen in the process. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred recently announced that the league has agreed to a deal with the city of Portland, Oregon, to bring a new team to the city. This move is part of a larger effort to expand the league, which has been in the works for some time.
The expansion process began in 2019 when Manfred announced that the league was looking into adding two new teams. Since then, MLB has been in talks with various cities to find a suitable home for the new teams. Portland was one of the cities that was considered, and it appears that MLB has finally found a home for one of the teams.
The deal between MLB and Portland is still in its early stages, but it appears that the city is ready to move forward with the project. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler has expressed his enthusiasm for the project and has said that he believes it will be a great opportunity for the city. The city has already begun making plans for the new stadium, which will be located in the downtown area.
The expansion of MLB is an exciting prospect for baseball fans. It means that more teams will be competing in the league, which could lead to more exciting games and more opportunities for players to showcase their talents. It also means that more cities will have the chance to experience the joys of baseball, which could lead to increased interest in the sport.
MLB’s expansion is still in its early stages, but it appears that the league is making progress towards its goal. With the agreement with Portland in place, MLB is now one step closer to bringing two new teams into the league. It remains to be seen what other cities will be chosen for the expansion, but it looks like baseball fans are in for a treat in the near future.
