Remember, the strongest baseball fanbase is in colder climate areas. i think Louisville, their minor league teams draws more people per game than several major league teams & the Louisville Slugger is made there. Louisville's market area is also 31st, which is one of the largest w/o a pro team.
I would also say Birmingham, great sports town & baseball is very big in the South

I agree with you about Louisville. They've been begging for a baseball team and really deserve one. The fan base will be truly great.
The other option is Las Vegas. There's a lot of money back there and I believe other teams would be delighted to spend a four game series in there

I don't think Tampa isn't going to move since its the stadium is pretty new (even though Domes went out of fashion about 2 decades ago) and Baseball shouldn't leave Miami, since it is a big market , i don't have the numbers but It should be bigger than Louisville or Birmingham. I think the Marlins have a slight edge in leaving first since Miami failed to approve a tax inititave to give them a new stadium. Las Vegas and Portland was top two contenders in getting a Major League team when the Expos moved to Washington. So I'll say it will be those two will be the top contenders again. Louisville and Birmingham are part of Braves Territory and therfore would need their permmision for another team to be there. It will probably come down to who would build a stadium for them first since the Marlins has existed for 12 years already and still don't have a home of their own

Charlotte, NC and Louisville, KY
Charlotte is just itching for a baseball team right now, and the citizens just recently voted to allow a tax raise to pay for a pro baseball team, which was a shocker to alot of people since they didn't support the Bobcats at first. (Charlotte people are uptight yuppies!)
Kentucky desperately needs a pro team and I think Louiseville is the perfect city to start them.
Vancouver couldn't do a basketball team, no reason to think they'd do a baseball team.
Vegas should get a professional team in every sport! The whole "sin city" vibe draws teams away.
Regardless of what city gets those teams, I agree that the minor league teams should skip town. They won't make money.

None:
For the long term health of the sport baseball needs to have fewer teams. The fact of the matter is that minor league cities cannot support major league baseball and therefore major league baseball should not be played in those cities.
Think of how much better the game would be if there were 150 fewer major league players

Charlotte, NC
Las Vegas, NV
Reno, NV
Memphis, TN
Portland, OR
Louisville, KY
Birmingham, AL
New Orleans, LA (yes, New Orleans)
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
San Juan, Puerto Rico
I could honestly see a MLB team try to move or move to any one of these cities.
Most have a large baseball fanbase around them or a large enough population to support a major league team.

Here's a crazy idea. Why doesn't the Tribune Co. buy out the Florida Marlins and merge the Marlins organization with the Cubs organization. I mean, in their relatively brief existence, the Marlins have won TWO World Series and the Cubs haven't won one in almost 100 years. The Cubs could keep the obviously talented Marlins scouting system, manager Joe Girardi and a few of their more talented players (Willis, Cabrera, Uggla) and then just sell or trade off the rest along with Marlins stadium and all of the other assets.
To take the Marlins place in the standings, MLB could just give the best AAA team in the area a promotion to the majors and we'll call it even.
I don't care what happens to Tampa Bay.
Bud Selig, I await your approval

I would love to see another midwest team, but MLB isn't going to bother with another small market team. I would say that Vegas would be your best bet. They would play at Cashman field most likely. Other cities that I think would embrace baseball well would be Sacramento, Omaha, and maybe even salt lake City.
Here is a shot in the dark though. What about putting a team in Mexico City or another big city in Mexico that is close to the border. I know it wouldn't happen, but the games would sell out, it would be a smart business move on MLBs part. If you ask me.
