Part 5/7:
Discussions turned to the political dynamics within Major League Baseball, especially concerning team ownership and relocation votes. It was noted that owner John Fisher might not have the necessary votes to sanction a move to Las Vegas, raising questions about how grassroots support could influence higher decision-making processes in the league.
The past clearly illustrates the reluctance of MLB owners to allow relocations unless sufficiently justified. This has often put pressure on teams to deliver strong fan engagement and performance to earn the loyalty of their communities while demonstrating the need for new infrastructure.
