Expansion: Vancouver Ahead of Montreal

Will the Expos ever return? We may have our doubts for all the reasons we know (all too) well.

Right now, we know that Ashkan Karbasfrooshan is involved in the sports scene in connection with this matter.

For several months now, he's been speaking up to say that he'd like to bring back the Expos—or help someone else bring the team back.

I don't know if publicly insulting politicians is the right strategy, but what do I know?

But in any case, right now, if Canada were ever to get a second MLB franchise, it would likely be in Vancouver.

I'm not saying it's going to happen in Canada—I'll believe it when I see it. But the momentum is in Vancouver's favor.

Nashville is likely to be the city chosen in the East, in the event of expansion. So, logically, a franchise would need to be added in the West.

But aside from that, the group working to bring baseball to Vancouver now officially has a group of shareholders in place.

The Show Vancouver Bid Corporation, led by Zack Ross, is now in charge of steering the project.

Will he succeed? Will he be able, in the near future, to build a stadium that meets Major League Baseball's expectations?

Will Rob Manfred, after the pandemic-related issues with the Blue Jays, want to add another club in Canada—a country with a currency weaker than the U.S. dollar?

We'll see in due time.
