There have been plenty of cities/locations bandied about in expansion talks over the years, but the latest/hottest number is Nashville.

Our book made the Music City the favorite to land the next MLB franchise. Charlotte is a close second, while Portland, Salt Lake City and New Orleans round out the Top 5.

Music City Baseball says it's been pushing for a team it wants to call the Nashville Stars but the expansion is not planned until the next decade.  As far as betting goes, a team will be named and graded long before that.

Music City Baseball is so confident of landing an MLB team in Nashville they are already conducting a site analysis to see where an MLB-sized baseball stadium could be constructed.

And speaking of Mr. Manfred, many are speculating who might be the man to replace him as commish when January 2029 rolls around.

The oddsmakers have come up with a really good list of candidates, and assigned chances for each. You can see the favorites to the longshots below.
