RE: Oakland A's to explore relocation
Part of me has always wanted 32 teams in MLB, but I don't see it coming anytime soon. The appetite for baseball has decreased overall.

That and there are really no slam dunk markets out there. Baseball is a game that demands more money overall to operate. They did a study years ago to confirm the the type of economy a market needed to truly support a franchise. Think about how major markets like Miami and Tampa struggle with financials and it becomes ever more clear.

The double edged sword there is all the obvious markets are taken. It's not like the NFL with a darling market like LA sitting there for several years.

When DC got a team back, that was the last major market to go. Everything else is debatable as far as feasibility.

Truly, the best market out there is probably Montreal. They just need to be managed well this time and it would probably work. Nonetheless, the A's want to move and the Rays would likely rather move as well.
