As Long As Fort McHenry watches over the Harbor, The Orioles will be in Baltimore.

One more Freddy Gray incident and MLB could make that move

I shouldn’t but I’m going to. Why on earth would MLB move the Orioles because of riots in Baltimore? It has happened in other MLB cities.

That's easy.  MLB wants to move the team and won't authorize the sons as owners once Peter dies.  They will force a sale to the owner of their choice who will move the team to ....

There is no way mlb allows Orioles to move.  They dont even want the Athletics to move.   Any team that moves takes an expansion spot away.  Owners want expansion to line their pockets.

Just heard they were going to pave Fort McHenry and put up a parking lot.

Quote

That will never be.
Who can impress the forest, bid the tree
Unfix his earth-bound root? Sweet bodements! good!
Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood
Of Birnam rise, and our high-plac'd Macbeth
Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath
To time and mortal custom.

From "Fort MacBeth," by Francis Scott Shakespeare

They wouldn't, it just the negative twits that got their panties in a twist about this team and they beat their righteous drums at every moment.

The Dodgers and Giants have not moved, and they have had baseball fans killed in their parking lot.

Bonus points to John Angelos for making it creative and not just saying "No plans to move or sell the team". 

[mdbdotcom]

How are they going to move Fort McHenry?

[Curse of the Bamdino]

I mean...well, yeah. Was this ever in question, aside from amongst the tinfoil hat wearers?

Nice of John to go on record, in any instance.

Nobody, to my knowledge, ever suggested moving the Tigers.

Remember, there are people who desperately pleaded with the Orioles to sell off everything and go into total rebuild in May of 2014.  No matter how positive things might look we're always inches from the abyss.

Melt the polar ice caps and Baltimore will move.

We've had earthquakes.  It's possible.

To be clear, there have been Giants fans killed and severely beaten in the Dodgers parking lot.   There haven’t been any killings of Dodgers fans in the Giants’ parking lot.   That only happens under the freeway near the stadium.

I wouldn't expect them to say any differently. But also I thought the Tennessee rumour was unsubstantiated nonsense that should have never been propagated in the first place. But hey, here we are. Good for Angelos to stomp that rumour out to put to bed it catching any momentum. But, alas, conspiracy theorists are never known for their logic. They'll come up with some other excuse.

Yeah, glad he said it, and I wouldn't expect him to say any different.  I also think the Nashville and Vegas rumors are unmitigated BS.

for the naysayers and conspiracy theorists, yes, we all know Irsay lied about moving the Colts.  And we all know PGA famously undelivered on several promises for a competitive team, but I wouldn't say he outright lied.

The O's aren't going anywhere.  I just hope Elias can get things turned around soon so we can get butts in seats at OPACY again.  Hoping they can be pushing for .500 in the 2021 season.  I expect at least 90 losses against next year.

My apologies for saying something incorrect.

4 blocks away, is not quite the same thing.
