Appetite for baseball certainly feels to have grown in the last few months out in Vancouver...
I wouldn't be surprised if one day, Vancouver gets a MLB franchise (whether through relocation, or expansion). But I think MLB wants to see how viable the market is here, and so far, it's not viable. Selling out Single A Baseball? Not impressive. But gotta admit, the demand is growing, and the people are taking in the sport. IF Vancouver can get up to Triple AAA, and still be selling out, the city may get the attention of MLB. Until that happens, I don't see MLB coming here, for a very long time.
