1997 OFFSEASON

I've already decided we won't have proper expansion again until 2020, the last expansion came in 1989 but with teams moving, I'd like to operate the league this way for a while before considering adding two clubs.

I wanted to do all of the moves I'd been pondering at once and it took me most of tonight to figure out where to send teams:

Florida White Sox left Tampa for Oklahoma (after being bought by one of the 500 richest men on the planet)
Oakland Oaks move to San Jose (A's). (The San Francisco Seals are the original A's, their new owner was able to purchase the identity and reboot them)
Baltimore Orioles move to Albuquerque, NM
Buffalo Red Sox move back to Boston (Buffalo was supposed to build a new stadium, never got it done after 5 years & Boston delivered on a promise to bring
them back after they finally won a World Series albeit in Buffalo)
