This is such a joke. Between a stadium and expansion fees a MLB team in Vancouver would be a $4 billion dollar investment. Anyone willing to invest that kind of money is out to lunch. There’s no way Vancouver could support a MLB team, it’s not a baseball city.

Vancouver having an MLB team would be awesome! It’d reel all of the Mariners fans from Vancouver back to their own city. It would be great for the country, too.

Yeah, that’s what we need to bring more of to Canada – America’s pastime.

Idk about anybody else but it’s been my whole life where the blue jays were Canadas team, I don’t think Canada needs another MLB team, it works in Toronto because it’s all of Canada cheering for them but splitting it between two teams makes no sense to me

Baseball isn’t popular enough here. Securing the Whitecap’s Stadium without the tax payers subsidizing it all should be top priority.
Honestly Vancouver probably isn’t big enough to support any more major league franchises. Even Seattle couldn’t keep their NBA team.

I’m a sports guy but baseball is definitely losing cultural relevance. Even as fun as the jays run last year it was a fraction of the feeling of the 90s ones. Get the whitecaps to stick around instead. This is bs pipe dream from an unpopular politician.

I don’t know about baseball, but Vancouver made a huge mistake not to keep the Grizzlies. NBA has grown exponentially the last two decades, it draws fans from all over world. People forget a major league team is not only good for fans, but it also contributes the local economy.

This is bananas, Vancouver can’t even find a new owner for the Whitecaps and this dude thinks someone is gonna shell out $4 billion (on the light side) for a MLB team? Man, I need to get high

Nobody is going to put up 5-8b for MLB in Vancouver.
