Expansion promotes growth for the sport on a national level, as it leads to more regional representation and diverse fanbases. These teams often bring new strategies, philosophies, and talents, enriching the overall landscape of baseball. As new cities embrace their teams, it’s exciting to see how MLB continues to evolve, and it makes the league more dynamic and accessible to fans across the country

expansion comes with challenges: balancing competitive fairness, ensuring proper infrastructure, and maintaining the integrity of existing teams. Adding new teams could also spread talent thinner and impact league depth. But the benefits—more regional rivalries, fan engagement, and greater TV revenue—could outweigh the drawbacks.
