I think it would be a really hard sell due to there not being the one main city but the Inland Empire in California (Riverside and San Bernardino among a bunch of other smaller cities) is a bigger market than Orlando and I feel like it’d be a better place for baseball: where in the NBA you really just need a rabid core of around 20,000 fans, in the MLB you can have a more diffuse crowd as long as you’ve got a base of, say, 2.5M to pull from. The IE would really put that to the test but it’d be interesting at least.
