I'm not sure John Angelos could get the owners' votes to move the Orioles to Nashville. If he sold the team, almost anyone else probably could, but I get the sense that MLB has just about had it with the ambulance-chasing rodent circus up there and don't want to poison one of their best potential new markets with a shorter, creepier slicked-back hair version of Dan Snyder as the face of the team.
considering how vocal the group here in town is, this is spot on. they want to be the first minority-owned MLB team and would put a lot of pressure on the city (and state) to tell the angelos family to pound sand. they want an expansion team not baltimore trash. moving the sleazebag family here to run a team is exactly how you lose the city immediately and manfred doesn't want that stain.
