If Anaheim can have a team why not Orlando?

Why not Marne-la-Vallée?

The Magic is already taken.

Expansion ???

Since the Marlins and the Rays draw so well, perhaps they could put a 3rd Major League team in Florida.

Orlando.

Jacksonville would be too far apart from the already existing franchises that are in the state.

They need to do something about all of those fans that are constantly cramming into the stadiums in Tampa Bay and Miami.

Give them an alternative by establishing a 3 and-a-half-to-4 hour driving triangle of 3 different Major League teams.

No way Florida is getting another team.

Your second post sounded like you were making a case for a third team. Sarcasm? If so, your premise needs to be slightly more ridiculous. 

[accinfo]

I would think Nashville, Montreal, or Portland would be in the mix.

Slightly. Apparently you missed the winking emoji.

I don't think the talent level will allow for expansion as well as the fact that there are no areas ready for a MLB franchise in my mind. I'd rather expand the rosters to 27 with a limit of 12 pitchers on a roster.

Makes no sense to me until the Oakland and Tampa issues are settled. 

No way in the world is a 3rd team added to NY.

Owners like the expansion fees they get. Look at the NFL with relocation fees. Free money. 

I would like rosters expanded but I doubt the owners go for it.

I know I want to see two more relievers in the pen!

You do.......  All we need is 4 hour games.....

I do think having an extra player or 2 would be beneficial. Doubt it happens.

And people complaining about people complaining.

And Tom Petty on classic rock stations down here in Florida, I swear I think there is a law.

What, has Florida forgotten about Jimmy Buffet?  One day back in the '70's when I was living in Sarasota, I swore I would kill something if I heard "Margaritaville" one more time.  Strangely it worked for a a while...
