Re: MLB expansion cities, here’s who Manfred named when asked in 2018: “Portland, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Nashville
in the United States, certainly Montreal maybe Vancouver, in Canada. We think there’s place in Mexico we could go over the long haul.”

So counting Mexico City or Monterrey, there’s 7 cities named (without SLC mentioned).

Portland
Charlotte
Nashville
Las Vegas
Montreal
Vancouver
City in Mexico

The Athletic article goes on to also consider Orlando and New Orleans as part of their most recent expansion article, detailing tv market size and local industry size. I’ve seen other articles mention Austin as well, in passing.

TL;DR: Major League Baseball is not coming to SLC anytime soon.
