- Expansion Extravaganza
In light of so many teams threatening to move around as the season comes to a close, we decided to dig into the history of all the times MLB has expanded the league and added some new teams to the mix. We also look at some potential future homes for expansion teams and how likely they are to get one! Plus, the latest news from Chicago's meltdown, Shohei's looming TJ surgery, the success of the pitch clock, and more!
Next week, we follow up this expansion conversation with a deep dive into the time MLB tried to get rid of some teams.
