Arizona. - They have a bigger following then the other two, but they can't turn a profit, any team that had to have MLB give it money because they couldn't afford they're payroll for the week has problems.

I'd hate to fold the Twins, but either they get a new dome, or they move.

Expos would probably be the 4th.

As for the network, the Twins have to take a hit fitst, NESN (Red Sox) did the same thing, for he first few yeears, most people didn't get to see home games and as time went, more people demanded to see it and at first it was a pay cable channel, it cost $10.00/month a few years ago, they re-did it, so you get it w/ basic cable, and they get a bigger audice and can sell more marketing.
Why would you fold two teams that they just brought into the league 6 years ago?

Why not fold Milwaukee, I mean, who gives a shit about the Brewers?

Then the Nats...obviously.

Maybe Kansas City...

and the Yankees .
