The Cincinnati Reds are in one of the smallest markets in MLB. Cincinnati is the home of the first professional baseball team in America. Unfortunately, history only goes so far.
Recently, Commissioner Roger Manfred discussed the possibility of MLB expanding to 32 teams. That would result in four eight-team divisions. It would make transitioning to a 154-game schedule much easier.
During the conversation, Manfred mentioned the cities of Portland and Montreal as possible locations for the new teams. Montreal is a hard luck city, as they lost their team because of the last players’ strike and is the most populous metropolitan area in North America without an MLB team.
