Vancouver and Sacramento Enter MLB Expansion Race as League Eyes 32 Teams
Two new cities have formally entered the conversation for MLB expansion, with Vancouver backed by a real estate developer and city council support.
MLB is expected to expand from 30 to 32 teams at some point, with multiple cities vying for franchises. Vancouver has a proposal led by developer Zack Ross with apparent support from mayor Ken Sim, and city council has directed staff to begin a procurement process. Sacramento has also submitted a bid, reported this week by The Athletic and Forbes. No timeline or official league decision has been announced.
