    "We have great connectivity to MLB. All along we've told them if we get into a point where you feel like we're wasting our time, tell us," said Barrett. "They're like, no, no, no. We need you, go go go. So those are good things to know."

    This statement can be taken a couple ways. Positive- They need Portland and the chance of a team is good. Negative- They need Portland because they are using it as leverage on other cities.

    Either way they need Portland and they are in the discussion still which is a good thing. Not sure the riots are helping much as it stands right now though?

    If they do get a team, I hope Mavericks or River Mavericks is considered as a name.

    The stadium will have cushioned seats??? I might become a season ticket holder then!

    Portland Pioneers sounds great.

    Pessimist...

    Well honestly i have known quite a bit about this but still i cannot tell you with any certainty there will be a team here in Portland. It's really weird how all this has played out. Everything has pretty much stopped. I think they were banking on at least a partial baseball season. Now even that seems unlikely with a couple teams now showing infections.

    I think if anything Covid really helped Portland’s chances by almost a lot. And if the season gets cancelled like it looks like it will it almost assures as expansion is happening.

    Baseball is losing TONS of money. They are officially about to be desperate for any influx of cash. So why the hell wouldn’t they be begging for that expansion fee

    Im a baseball nut and played in college but the game is a hard sell now to younger folks especially on the west coast as there is so much to do in summer.
    We should hear something with regards expansion or relocation soon, I would think?
