Beyond Expos, Major League Relocation Unlikely
Unlike his credulous counterpart in Norfolk, Mark Anderson of the Las Vegas Review-Journal recognizes that the Expos are the only franchise likely to relocate anytime soon.
As MLB's Rich Levin put it, "We haven't moved a franchise in 33 years. It's not something we do without great and considerable thought put into it." Indeed, the Expos' experience shows that MLB's idea of "great and considerable thought" resembles the "all deliberate speed" with which Southern schools desegregated after Brown v. Board of Education.
