If no one takes a team I will take an expansion, because it is easier to find someone for Florida.

Like I said, dunno what Calgary looks like budget-wise. Maybe they can support a team in Mogul. If so, great. If not, San Antonio could be looked at (to see if it affects Texas as well). If others don't mind the idea of bringing MLB back to Montreal (I personally hate it), then that could be an option
Otherwise, I don't see an issue placing 1 expansion team in the AL West & another in the NL West

SA is an improvement over Calgary (although not by too terribly much). That would be ideal I think.

Like I said we don't even have to mess with the Central. It will be better just to mess with one region and two divisions within that reason, the West. The West is also the two weaker divisions of the league, so this gives us an opportunity to pick them up a bit. If your really bent on messing with the Central, Salt Lake City is semi central, or your could make the case for Colorado moving to the Central. Indianapolis is another idea for a Central city, as well as Columbus, Ohio. Again, I think we should leave the Central and East alone and just fix up the two West divisions.

Montreal actually does pretty well in mogul, as well as hartford and monterrey

I keep looking at the cities, and Vancouver and Las Vegas are always the top spots, without affecting any markets. San Antonio does indeed affect HOU and TEX. I saw both budgets drop annually.

Well, DJ says he is most likely taking one, and if so, I believe Stang was the choice for the second team. Nothing is official yet but that's what it looks like.
