ABL to Add Two Licenses in 2018
Today ABL commisioner Ryan Carrick-Flowers announced his plan to expand the league by two teams in the 2018 season. Flowers did not give any details on when the bids selected would be announced.
Sources near the ABL believe that Baseball Australia and the MLB will be meeting with representatives from the Gold Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, and the Sunshine Coast.
Bids are expected to be publicly campaigned much like Canberra did at the end of 2009 to secure the sixth license in the league.
