Sacramento Eyes MLB Expansion

Sacramento’s bold bid for an MLB team is heating up, with Yankees star Aaron Judge calling it a “great baseball town” and praising Northern California’s readiness. Backed by $800M in land, public funding, and private investment, the city leverages its successful hosting of the A’s as proof it can support a permanent franchise. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred’s rumored timeline—expansion cities lined up before his 2029 retirement—adds urgency. Judge and manager Aaron Boone both laud Sacramento’s fan energy and atmosphere, even during temporary games. But with stiff competition from Portland and Salt Lake City, the final decision rests with team owners. This is one to watch as MLB weighs its next big move.
