Former NBA Utah Jazz owner Gail Miller is heading a Salt Lake City consortium to pursue a potential MLB franchise in the coming years, according to reports.
ESPN says that Big League Utah, headed by Miller, will join Nashville's Music City Baseball and the Portland Diamond Project in lobbying to join the current 30 MLB organisations. The area’s growing population, strong economy and baseball history have been listed as reasons for being handed an expansion slot.
Las Vegas is also considered another area with a strong candidacy for MLB expansion should the Oaklands Athletics relocate from California to Sin City.
