Blue Jays identity as "Canada's team" could be in jeopardy if Vancouver's mayor gets his way
"Mayor Ken Sim announced that the city will begin a motion to start a bidding process to bring an MLB expansion team. He stated, 'Our city has a strong sports culture and a proven track record of supporting professional teams.'"
"With the MLB publicly expressing interest in league expansion in the near future, we see an opportunity to position Vancouver as the next home for a franchise."
"Currently, the only viable option for a new team would be BC Place, where the CFL's BC Lions and MLS's Vancouver Whitecaps play."
The Toronto Blue Jays were the only Canadian MLB team after the Montreal Expos relocated in 2005. Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim announced plans to start a bidding process for an MLB expansion team. He emphasized Vancouver's strong sports culture and interest from prospective groups. The only potential venue for the team is BC Place, which currently hosts other sports teams. Mayor Sim aims to position Vancouver as a viable candidate for a new franchise amid MLB's expansion interests.
