Sacramento isn't getting an MLB team for the same reasons Oakland isn't moving. The only city that has a viable chance of getting an MLB team if the Rays get moved is Portland. Minimal TV revenue impact (the Mariners have almost all of the Pacific NW), plenty of overpaid white people ("young families", SF escapees) looking to be outside, and a mayor looking to make it a "world class city" (:lmao:).

I back this.

Portland has almost no black people, and yet EVERYONE there is obsessed with the Trailblazers because it's the only major sport.  Obsessed.

They also love their soccer team.  Soccer!

Give them some baseball.
