Sacramento Steps Up for MLB

Sacramento is swinging for the fences with a bold bid for an MLB expansion team, launching “The Sacramento Pitch” seeking $800 million in public and private investment—with a deadline before Commissioner Rob Manfred retires in 2029. Already home to the NBA’s Kings and the wildly popular River Cats, the city boasts a metro population over 1.6 million and a media market bigger than many existing MLB markets. Fans are rallying behind the cause, with longtime A’s supporters ready to switch allegiances if Sacramento lands its own franchise—especially as the A’s prepare to leave after next season. Local leaders are urging fans to pack the stands to prove Sacramento’s baseball hunger, positioning the city as the perfect next home for Major League Baseball.
