MLB Expansion

MLB Commissioner A. Bart Giamatti announced today that the National League will expand from 12 to 14 teams beginning in the 1993 season. There has been extensive negotiations between the MLBPA and MLB over the past year and it was finally agreed to expand with the new CBA.

Ten cities were considered serious candidates for the two spots: Buffalo, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; Denver, Colorado; Miami, Florida; Nashville, Tennessee; Vancouver, British Columbia; Phoenix, Arizona; Sacramento, California; Portlan, Oregon; and Washington, D.C. When asked if there would be any realignment of the current teams, Giamatti answered "We have not gotten that far in the process. By the next offseason we will choose which of the 10 bids we are accepting."
